I am sorry, I did not register because of I just have one
simple question where to install a pressure regulator.
Recently I installed two stages whole house filter. This
filter has two pressure gauges: inlet and outlet. This way I
figured out that my city water pressure is too high 90+psi.
So, I decided to install pressure regulator. My first thought
was to install it right after the whole house shut off valve
but now I am thinking about to install it right after whole
house filter. I think, this way filter will be doing better job
with higher input pressure, house pressure will be more
stable (pressure regulator will compensate for pressure
drop across the filter) plus regulator itself will get filtered
water and diaphragm will be lasting longer.
Are my assumptions correct?
Thank you,
