Summary: Causes Cancer? 2008-08-29
Comment: 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.

Summary: works for high flow rates 2008-07-21
Comment: 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.
