What water pressure do you permit into your trailer?

[GeoffnCheri]

The owners manual states that, "the water pump runs until 45 pounds of pressure has been achieved". Based on that, I set my regulator to 45. I have read others state their pumps cut off at 55, but, since 45 is adequate for our needs, I leave it set there.

This ^^^^^^

We have found the pressure more than meets our needs. Based on information from this thread we do turn the water off when we are away from the monster. The few times I have forgotten to turn the water back on, "she who must be obeyed" is quick to remind me of my shortcomings.

I've been on about the value of a water pressure gauge within the RV plumbing system . . . not just one before the inlet check valve on the hose or pressure regulator. See posts 10 and 17 of this thread. Recent discussion about winterizing with antifreeze got me to thinking about how I use this gauge to know exactly what is going on with the pump and the water system.

So . . . I decided I needed another one . (In addition to the one at my water panel)

This one was event easier to install. T'd into the cold water Pex line to the bathroom sink, 8" away.

(BTW, the 60 psi on the gauge is the city water pressure at my house . . . normally I would have a 50 psi pressure regulator in the city water line)

Don't you need one beside your bed too?!

Rob what make of water pressure gauge did you buy. I'm assuming you bought it in Canada. Where did you install the accumulator tank? Is it a useless to install it unless you do all the plumbing work you did. Are you a master plumber?
