Not currently using a regulator, mostly because pressure is rather low where I am. In fact, I sometimes turn the pump on even when connected to city water, so the pressure will be at least that of the pump. Makes for a better shower, and uses some water from the tank so it doesn't stay stagnant for months at a time.

In summer I ought to use a regulator, though. RV parks in Florida are sparsely populated in summer, and the pressure is high. In winter (we call it "the season"), parks are full to bursting with "snowbirds", and both water pressure and electrical voltage are low.

Thanks for the good advice! I've got a regulator, one with a nice little pressure gauge on it, and I ought to see whether I can find it. It's hiding someplace at the moment.
