I watched a BUNCH of videos on this stuff and checked MY water pressure. As it turned out, mine was at 115psi! 😱. Most videos show you how to change the entire apparatus, but THIS GENTLEMEN SHOWS you how to simply change the internal components. My “Watts” pressure regulator sells for just under $900.00! That is outrageous! The “repair kit” cost only $100.00! This video showed just how simple the repair was. Now, I’m at a comfortable 65psi and no longer worrying about a flood in my house! THANK YOU for showing me how to do this!

You are the ever lovin' man. I love videos that go right to the meat, no BS involved. Mine will not come apart that easily, I'm 100% sure. Still a great vid.

Great video, found another way to help my friend with his regulator issue. We had a problem removing the old one so I’m just going to replace the inside parts. Thank you very much for this well detailed /clear video!

Cool video man! I like the way you did the video. Other guys are boring but you were pretty smooth on explaining it all. Just subscribed!

[cryptocollector]

Just rebuilt my 600XL. The new ones are from over $180 to over $300. I was not sure how tight to make the piece that you had the chisel on. Instructions just said do not make "too tight" or the piece might break. I started at 140lbs (intake) like you but put it at 50lbs. Maybe too light but sure works fine in the house...I think I could deal with a lot less than 50. I left the gauge on for many days and found that on some nights (or one day) I had a moment of the pressure going up to 140 and staying there! In the morning, I turned on a faucet in the house and the pressure went back down to 50 and stayed all day until the next spike. The one time this happened during the day, the pressure came back down by itself but I could see by the "recording needle" where it had been. I think that O ring is the weak link. Maybe I could just buy a few of those plus carefully emory cloth the bore it fits into that you mentioned must be smooth.
