 Misconceptions |
| Review Date: September 18, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Veritas9, TennyC, USA |
| Ok, I have / use one of these & have to comment on the other reviews: #1 - The state of CA 'warning' is due to the presence of lead in the brass; nothing more / nothing less. Most brass fittings. valves, etc. contain a nominal amount of lead as it greatly assists in the casting & machining of parts in the manufacturing process. I'd venture a guess that you would have to drink 14 quadzillion gallons of water that had passed thru one of these regulators before you would accumulate even a detectable amount of lead in your blood. If you live in CA, you have my sympathies. #2 - Correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that you set these valves under static load; that is inline with the hose shut off ! That is to say once you open the hose, valve, etc, the pressure reading is going to drop off to zero. Shut off the flow & it returns to your set point which coincidentally, is the pressure the regulator is allowing to pass through. That said, it does what it is supposed to do ! |
works for high flow rates

| This regulator is not exactly a lab grade device. When the flow rate is high (perhaps 1/2 gal per min) or higher it works fine. When the flow is zero, the outlet pressure slowly rises to almost the input pressure. This defeats the purpose of protecting the hose from high static pressure when there is no flow. If that is not a concern, then this is a very good unit. |
Causes Cancer?

I was surprised upon receiving this product to find a note inside the plastic clamshell packaging stating: "WARNING: This Product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling."
Yeah, like I'm going to use this for my organic garden irrigation now.
But I wanted to try it anyway to see if it worked, so I put on some gloves to avoid getting the oily residue that coated the device onto my hands and hooked it up. And it didn't work. Inlet pressure is 50 psi, and I set the device to 25 PSI. When the water came on, I got a high pressure spike, followed by very little flow at all. It didn't seem to matter what I set the pressure to, it just didn't work. So I replaced it with a $4.50 non-adjustable 25 PSI pressure reducer that I got from the home supply store and that worked just fine. Without oily carcinogen residue. This piece of junk is going right back. |
