Watts is one of many good brands. You don't need any particular brand. As 1fast says, get any 3/4" pressure regulator (1/2" is probably OK), along with an attached pressure gauge and add hose-thread ends.


I'm free of prostate cancer for 5 years now.
All men over age 50 should get an annual PSA blood test. Mine had a low reading, but the yearly jump was significant. The biopsy showed cancer just entering the aggressive stage. Dr. Hackenslash removed it.

Thats how I have always done it myself. From all I hear there is no need to do that. The H560 has done it for you,produces great flow and its cheaper.

I would advise you to not buy that one. I had two of them and each would leak and build up to inlet pressure after a couple of months of use. Go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy a medium duty 3/4 inch house regulator and put hose adapters on each end. The cost will be very little more than the one you show and will work much better.

You can mail order from the sources linked to above

Or... you can go to a plumbing shop or a Old-time hardware store (NOT ACO or ACE or one of the modern chains) and they can special order it for you

I didn't realize that Watts had that many models already fitted with hose fittings.

Even tho the unit you targeted is slick looking, I suggest you move up to one of the two upgraded models that one respondent referred you to at the Water Store. Mine from Camping World gave dismal performance and would not hold the pressure. I called the factory and they agreed it wasn't a very good model and prone to malfunction. I guarantee the extra $10.00 you wll spend will return you great performance.

Go to E-Bay and type in "watts regulators". We bought the one you're interested in and love it. Lowes and Home Depot sometimes don't carry that model.
