The regulator does exactly that, it "regulates" the pressure not the flow, only need to set it once to 50-55 & done.
I'm not trying to sell regulators, use what you want, but Valterra/Camco/whoever shouldn't call them "regulators" they are RESTRICTORS.

While I agree to a certain extent, a properly designed regulator/restrictor should not restrict flow to the extent it will be a problem. Old style, and I'm talking many years, did restrict flow considerably, newer models cause minimal if any reduction in flow. The high flow model I have causes virtually zero flow reduction, I always have it on my hose and have used it with a sprayer and have noticed no reduction.
