Best Water Pressure Gauge?

[Bluependa]

Looking for suggestions/experiences for the Best Water Pressure Gauge?

We are hooked up to a really high-pressure well pump. Great system, but it might be tooo much pressure for the RV system.

1)Suggestions on Best inline Water Pressure Gauge?

2)Where to place it (right at the city water hookup, or at the well head hookup)?

3)What should Water Pressure be for 30foot Travel Trailer?

Thanks

I’ve used this one for several years and been very happy, regulates pressure but still plenty of flow for showers.

Renator RV Water Pressure Regulator for RV Camper. Brass Lead-free Adjustable RV Water Pressure Regulator with Gauge. RV Water Regulator for Camper Travel Trailer, Reducer Valve W Filter. M11-0660R. https://a.co/d/3zp8CoL

I mount mine right at inlet on the coach, that way I know what’s coming into the coach. Anywhere else and you only know what the pressure is up to that point.

I think we have it set at 40psi. It’s packed away for the winter.

YOu need a Water pressure regulator hooked up to spigot/hose bibb when you are connecting your RV Supply Hose

Watts makes a good adjustable regulator

Set the pressure for 50 PSI (Static pressure----no flow)


In mean time........fill your fresh water tank and use the RV Pump for your water supply

High pressure from well pump can cause LEAKS!!!

TRUE, to much water pressure can damage RV water pipes. You can pick up water well pressure Gauges at most any hardware store Lowes, Home Depot, ACE Hardware, Tracker Supply to name a few. The Well that was put in should have it's own Pressure Gauge already installed on the well. " I like Colemen gauges as they have them up to 200-PSI and most common 100-PSI.

To answer your questions 1. I'm wondering what type of PUMP for your well do you have Superable (meaning down inside the pipe) or well? Maybe you have an above ground PUMP. What is the water well diameter of the pipe in the ground? 2", 4", 6" or larger.

For the motorhomes you should not go above 40-PSI at the site where the water will go into the Motorhomes. Each owner should also have a water pressure control valve.

2. Are you running into the campgrounds City Water or your Well water? Each should have their own Pressure gauges.

3. 40-PSI, at camp World you can buy a Water Pressure control regulator valve that will keep water at 40-PSI. (image on link)

What you did not state was your location as that has a lot to do with how deep-water pipes in the ground should be. The colder the deeper the water pipes to the RV's. Then each have they're on types of caping systems to keep the water pipes safe from cold weather. Not so much in south Florida and the weather only drops a few days below temps of 32 degrees. Cold the pipes could bust. Everyone in Florida is told to let a little water follow to keep the pipes safer from freezing up and busting the pipes.

Folks who do all of this water pipes and pressure in stallions have to be certified and licenses by the state and insured for any losses that could accrue from misjudgments. I hope you're not trying to wing it, as you can run into major problems for errors or losses you incur.

Now if you own a trailer and moving it into a park, you need a pressure control regulator valve 40-PSI max. Camping World has them. Here is a link. Enjoy and be safe

40 psi is kinda low............50 psi is sweet spot for faucets/toilets and SHOWERS


Many RV Pumps are rated for 55 psi
Some are 45 psi

I have ordered an adjustable gauge. Will hook up 'at the RV water intake'. Trying to get Thor-Dutchmen-Colorado dept to let us know exact pressure spec to set it to for this RV.

Thanks all.

I've been using adjustable water pressure regulators set at 55 psi at the water source on 2 trail trailers and 3 fifth wheels. Don't let the adjustable regulators freeze as that will ruin the gauge, as I found out from Valtera when I got politely chewed out before they sent me a new gauge under warranty. When I accidentally let the regulator freeze again, I found a $7 replacement gauge at Harbor Freight versus $20+ from E-trailer.

I'm another that uses Watts. They are adjustable, rebuildable, and I have used that brand for 50 years as a plumber and later as an engineer. DR

I use Renator adjustable regulators, mainly because they require a screwdriver to adjust and can't be easily changed with the twist of a knob by anyone walking by. My lineup is spigot wide open, brass Y connector, regulator at 45 psi, filter, potable water hose, another regulator at 45 psi, 90° elbow and then to inlet.

3)What should Water Pressure be for 30foot Travel Trailer? 40-45 psig

I have a Watts regulator mounted in the wet bay set at 45 psi, but I almost always just fill my freshwater tank and run the pump. That way I will never have a big flood and I will always know if there's a leak somewhere because the pump will cycle on and off.

Also if I'm leaving the rig, I can simply switch off the pump and have no worries about something leaking while we're away. I have seen people come back to their rig only to see water running out under the door. :(
