I dont have a fresh water tank so I hook to the custys water and it goes through my on board water softener. A house today had such high water pressure, it leaked around my quick connects to the water softener and eventually started spraying water out an overflow all over my seats! I bought a pressure reducer at Ace but it didnt change anything. Any ideas? (not a fresh water tank, I'm adding that next year)

A pressure reducer works well with my 2 X 03's at 400 psi.... 12-24 flow will require pressure regulator...ain't no way your gonna get that much water thru a reducer...Richard R

Bob, I can run a simple pressure reducer to stop the fresh water tank from overflowing in the van...... Some of these gentleman need 4-8 gallons a minute to supply their jets.....Our water system will only feed about 4-4.5... I don't know how they do it without a fresh water tank... Richard R

2 X 03 jets @ 500 psi = 2.1 GPM
4 X 03 jets @ 500 psi = 4.2 GPM
