Common Concerns Answered
How does this regulator protect my boat's plumbing?
This regulator actively reduces high incoming water pressure, typically from dockside connections, down to a safe and consistent 35 psi. This prevents damage to sensitive pipes, seals, water heaters, and appliances that could be compromised by pressures exceeding their rated limits.
How often should I clean the in-line filter?
The frequency of filter cleaning depends on the quality of the incoming water. In areas with higher sediment content, more frequent cleaning may be necessary. We recommend inspecting the filter during routine maintenance and cleaning it whenever sediment is visible to ensure optimal performance and water flow.
Why is the output pressure set at 35 psi, and is that sufficient?
The 35 psi regulated output is a standard and safe pressure for most marine potable water systems, balancing adequate flow for fixtures like showers and faucets with protection for system components. While some may be accustomed to higher pressures, this specific rating is designed for maximum system longevity and reliability in a marine environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum input water pressure this regulator can handle?
The Jabsco Water Pressure Regulator is designed to handle a maximum input water pressure of 100 psi.
What is the regulated output water pressure?
This regulator provides a consistent regulated output water pressure of 35 psi.
Does this regulator have a built-in backflow preventer?
Yes, this regulator features a built-in backflow preventer to prevent water from flowing back into the supply line.
Is this regulator designed for flush mounting?
Yes, this unit is specifically designed for permanent flush mounting, offering a clean and integrated installation on your vessel.
How do I clean the in-line filter?
To clean the in-line filter, first shut off the water supply. Then, carefully unscrew the filter housing, remove the filter element, rinse it thoroughly with clean water, and reassemble. Ensure all connections are watertight before restoring water pressure.
