[VAC] Re: Water Pressure



Don,

Two regulators in series are apt to fight each other.  Only by pure coincidence
would this setup work, unless it was designed and installed properly.  These
things are not just static devices; they have to respond by opening or closing
every time flow changes in the system, and if they are not tuned properly to
each other, the result is as you see, a trickle or nothing.

You should remove or bypass each regulator in turn, and test the system for
satisfactory flow; that eliminates the possibility of a malfunctioning
regulator.  Then my suggestion would be to use the one on the hose connection,
so you protect your entire system, IF you are able to bypass your on-board
regulator.  If not, your remaining option then is to use only the on-board
device, understanding that the hose and any part of your system upstream of the
regulator will be constantly exposed to the park's high pressure.  Good luck!
