I'm getting ready to replace my well pressure tank because my current one is water-logged (and I'm not getting the kind of capacity I need out of it). As part of the replacement, I will be replacing the "Tee" that has all of the components as well.
I have every intention of setting my pressure switch for 40/60, and am curious as to whether I "definitely should", "can", or "definitely should not" install a pressure regulator anywhere in the system.
On one hand, I believe that I should install a pressure regulator before the inlet to the hot water heater to ensure that I don't overrun that component with the 60psi at any point.
On the other hand, I'd like to have the water flow be fairly consistent from all of the different fixtures and thought that a single regulator on the outlet side of the "Tee" would accomplish this.
I want to be sure to not disrupt any of the other functionality throughout the house, though. And, I know that "throttling down" the whole system could detract from the other fixtures being able to provide an adequate amount of water. Essentially, I don't want the "bursts" of water at the fixtures when the pump kicks in.
