Is the hydro current when you buy it? Also, some reviews said the regulator only goes up to 3000 psi. Is this true?

Don't have the tank in front of me for the hydro date, but the tank I received was good to 4,500psi. I placed my order in July of 2012 so maybe the new ones are lower quality. One thing to be noted on the regulators is that they have two different pressure relief valves on them. One high pressure one low pressure. They are NOT the same as the regulator rating. That might have been confusing people.

It was when i first bought it. I can charge it up to 4.000 with no problems.

This regulator and gage is designed to work at lower pressures, like a paint gun that works in the 28 to 30 psi range. It is ok if you hook it up on the inlet side to 150 psi, but you usually have the regulator set for 30-50 psi outlet.

I had my propane company hook mine up. I highly recommend you do the same. I have a high pressure line from the tank to the regulator that goes to the house. The generator has its own regulator,so they tied into the high pressure line just before the regulator at the house, and installed a valve that was tamper proof. I then had them install a quick connector to the valve. I bought a 12 ft. high pressure hose for the generator and installed the other half of quick connect to it. It works great! Just so you know....... this kind of hookup will void your warranty.

My compressor is a 5hp 80 gallon putting out 155psi and this regulator has handled that with no problems.I could not find out the max input before I bought mine either, and had to put the pressure to it and see what happened.It has been almost a year since I started using mine and I have regulated as low as 9lbs for powder coat.The gauge goes to 160.It's a pretty big well built unit that will take you by surprise when you take it out of the box.

I opened both valves and adjusted the screw up to a max of 55 psi. I believe that my regulator has been limited for safety reasons. It could be that yours has been limited to 75 psi.

Longer power cord, larger water reservoir for longer working time (30 minutes more, if I recall correctly), more attachments. And you have a pressure gauge instead of just an indicator light that comes on so you know when your pressure is lowering. 1375 was more than I needed for my household use. I called the company and they readily answered my questions about which to buy. Very helpful people. I did not feel pushed to buy a larger one - they actually recommended that I didn't need more. And they were right.

You can adjust the output pressure. You can download the manual from generac and see more answers you didn't know to ask.

I have this pump and use a 350 gal tote myself. My tote is ground level and I pump out the top with a garden hose. The pump provides real good pressure for my shower, matter of fact I can only turn the shower on about half way as the shower water heater cannot keep pace with the water from the pump. The pump has a screw in the front that allows you to turn the water pressure up or down. I just left it set as it came from the factory. What I would like to know from you is how well does the shower work? I have been considering buying one and replacing the shower water heater I have. ralphmorgan at msn dot com.

Hi Alan, not sure about your question but i've had 2 of these regulators fail on me. both within a month of receiving. see other similar reviews. this is not a reliable part. D

Yes it does however both times I ordered this regulator they sent me one that only goes to 15 Lpm. if you're good with the lower flow rate then its a great buy.

I use this regulator on an air line with at least 125 psi, other ones I had purchased before didn't really work with that amount of pressure. Hope this was helpful, if I find out more I will update

I think it is 1/6 horse power, I never put a amp draw gage on it, so I am going by the manufactures specs.they seem to reliable pumps, I have ran them in my stock tanks to keep the water moving so the water did not freeze during the winter and they have ran 24/7 for a few winter and bought more pumps for last year,

Jerry I purchased mine for additional heat in my shop that is attached to my home , I also attached it to my 500 gal L.P. tank but you will need a regulator placed on that line , do not go direct from the tank with-out one !!! Note there is a slight smell , for the price it works great . any other questions contact me .

The flow rate listed for these regulators is based on optimum conditions. The actual flow on any regulator depends on the park supply pressure, supply line size and parks water system flow capacity. The flow is also affected by the pressure you set on the regulator, and how long and what size your hose is. The pressure on the regulator is set without any flow going through the regulator but there is restriction through the regulator while flowing so the pressure when water is flowing is less than the set pressure and therefore the flow is also affected. I have this regulator on my rig and I like it. It has greater flow and better pressure than all the other regulators I have used regardless of where we have camped.

I don't know, it's just plugged into a regular outlet/breaker with no problems. I have it pumping into my filter so it's hard to tell. It moves quite a bit of water up to the mid point of a waterfall. K

Yes, there are 2 ports, one unregulated (max psi) and one regulated, which is adjustable via a knob. Just use the right one!

I did the same thing. It's been working fine. There are several flow regulating tips that come with it also.
