Anyone have a solution to getting a volume of water with a water pressure regulator in use?
It seems when I connect the in line water pressure regulator ( the brass kind you buy at wal-mart), the volume of water is so low you can hardly get enough water to shower. Has anyone solved this problem?

Here is a good site for purchasing hi-flow regulators.

Check under your faucet valves for a small s.s. filter screen mine were plugged with small pieces of plastic from the plumbing. Also there may be flow limiters in the aerators and in the shower head,I removed mine and have excellent water pressure.

If the problem were clogged screens or water flow limiters it would exist all of the time, not just when hooked to an external water source using a pressure regulator.

I had the same problem and went to Lowe's(we didnt' have a Home Depot at that time) and got a house regular(3/4" in and out), bought a male and female water hose to pipe connector and now use that. I get must more water through the large orifices of the new regulator. Gotta "RV" regulator that I will sell cheep. lol
