Water Pressure Regulator vs Water Pressure Gauge?

The filter is an Everpure 2CB-GW. Working pressure is 10-125 psi (0.7-8.5 bar), non shock. So yep, before the filter. Thanks guys.

Depends on the pressure rating of your filter
Looks like the Brita C150 comes with 350kPa rated tubing, so it lools like the regulator should go upstream of the filter

You don't spend $$$$ on gear to arse around with inappropriate connections to mains water. See Filtration | Talk Coffee to get you on the correct track.
Who's arsing around? I'm still learning and if I see a cheaper option that I think will suit at the time I will go with it, however now that I'm aware I will need to invest in a PLV I will....
So I should install it between the tap and filter?

So are 350 kPa PLVs and they should be used on all plumbed machines. You should also have coffee spec. filtration in place.Originally posted by budandbeans View PostActually water pressure gauge's are quite cheap.

How are you planning to adjust the water pressure at the tap?Originally posted by budandbeans View PostIf I can adjust the water pressure through the tap is there any reason to go with a water pressure regulator, or will a water pressure gauge on the line to the machine suffice?

You cant adjust water pressure with a tap. When the flow is zero you will still have full pressure.
