Expert Answers about RV Water Pressure Regulator


  • Does the Valterra Water Regulator for RVs have leaking problems?
  • I called the manufacturer that produces the Valterra Water Regulator for RVs # A01-1120VP and they verified little to no leaking problems. This Water Regulator is intended to filter the customer's water pressure from an external system to a more manageable pressure to prevent overspray in order to have more control of your water distribution.

  • Troubleshooting the Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater, Low Water Pressure
  • Your Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater, # LSB64FR requires a minimum water pressure to operate, ideal is 40-45 PSI but should still work below 20. If you have water pressure much below that, or it fluctuates dropping much below, this is probably your issue. I suggest you consider the Camco RV Water Pressure Regulator, # CAM40064 to keep the water pressure in the 40 PSI to 50 PSI range.

  • Troubleshooting Low Water Pressure In An RV With A Pressure Regulator And Water Filter
  • Since the water filter could become clogged with debris, sediment, etc. there is the possibility that this is causing the low pressure. You can replace the cartridge inside your filter with part # CAM40621 to see if this solves the issue. If not then it could be that the regulator is the issue and that you'll need to replace it with another like part # A01-1124VP. Regulators can fail over time or become clogged up internally so it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that this is...

  • Troubleshooting An RV Water Heater Pilot That Will Not Stay Lit
  • You've basically replaced the entire unit so at this point it would leave me to believe it's not getting 10-13" W.C. and that the regulator is the issue.
