iSpring APR40 Pressure Regulator Filter Protection Valve with 1/4" Quick Connect, 40 psi

My refrigerator does not go bang bang anymore when I get a glass of water, this is the real deal. It seems water pressure ramps up for Summer when everybody runs their irrigation systems so this is the solution for an over pressurized system. Didn’t know if it would work but for now, this regulator is doing its job! No leaks, installation was a breeze and fits neatly behind the refrigerator.

Ordered on saturday, the thing showed up on sunday! I purchased this pressure regulator for my refrigerator ice maker/ water dispenser incoming water supply. I've never used the slip and lock type connectors before. I was a bit uneasy about their ability to seal properly, I called a friend who does home remodeling and he said he loves them. Well I cut my plastic lines with a razor and inserted the lines into the regulator and the seal is water tight. Super easy to install, took honestly less than 5 minutes. Now the reason I put this regulator on in the first place, is that my ice maker / water dispenser valve assembly ruptured or fractured to the point that water was leaking from the back of the refrigerator from the valve. I decided to check my home water pressure because these ice maker valves are only light plastic and they prefer to have around 45-60 psi of water pressure on them. Check with the recommended pressure from manufacturer. I found my home water pressure was around 120psi....that is what broke my ice maker valve assembly. The home water pressure is not recommended to exceed 75psi Max! I had my home pressure set on the high end for a better shower experience, but through the years the watts water pressure regulator decided to malfunction and allow full street or line pressure to get into my home network. With this high psi, its no wonder I've replaced my ice maker valve assy twice in the last few years. This inline regulator will keep my refrigerator line pressure at a perfect 45psi. Well worth the moneyspent, now I have a complete system for the refrig. I highly recommend using one for protecting your ice maker system, and be sure to check your home water pressure at your faucet or spigot outside, so you know if your water main pressure is regulated properly into your home, before you blow water lines and water heaters.!!!

Fence quarter inch push Connect reduces pressure so it stops the hammering on the water valve

I have a Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator (French doors, ice/water dispenser) and I have ALWAYS had issues with the ice cubes jamming up and not dispensing properly. This inexpensive device has finally fixed my issue. I've known since the first day I got my refrigerator that I've had high water pressure, and I've put up with the ice cubes coming out as one massive lump, and just letting the auger to break up the cubes. But there were days that no ice cubes would come out. I would have to remove the ice bin and try to break up the cubes and even then, it wouldn't be consistent. Also, the water being dispensed would be a "splash fest". Again, very annoying. I tried the 70 psi version first (the refrigerator manual stated that it needs to be 30-100 psi) and that helped. But still had issues with ice cubes and being sprayed with the water dispenser. Since these are so inexpensive, I just ordered the 40 psi version. HUGE difference! Now everything is perfect. I tried to find something similar at local hardware stores and even appliance parts suppliers. They either didn't have anything similar or were outrageously expensive or for the entire home (also expensive and difficult to install). This was an easy and inexpensive fix, that has been well worth it.

Fantastic company to deal with!!!! I had an issue with receiving a broken clip on the one end of my valve and reached out to ispring and Sean was fantastic to work with. He sent another valve quickly and now my reverse osmosis system is back in service- thank you so much Sean!!!

After trying a much more expensive regulator that failed, this has turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Originally purchased to remedy ice maker problems caused by high pressure water supply that was splashing all over on the fill cycle, causing lots of things to freeze up. This cured the ice maker issues but it does take longer to fill a glass of water. A small price to pay for the benefit

I purchased this to reduce the flow to my iSpring filters. I didn't have an actual dial gauge to test the pressure prior to use. I just "expected" the thing to work after adding it prior to the filter. Well, a year later after reorganizing under my sink, I decided to pressure test the filter after purchasing the same brand ("Watermark") and receiving a dud. This one read at house pressure, effectively proving it either died at some point or never worked. Granted, I never had any leaks but it did not do anything to help prevent them. I won't ever be buying from this brand again.

I'll give it 5 stars but: how do I know if it works in the first place when my house supply is pressure regulated to about 30 psi? Secondly, I'm not sure this isn't reducing input such that my output flow is a trickle out of the filter system it is hooked to. I did buy this because I am not using the faucet my water filter came with and instead supplying a fridge and instant-hot and ergo my system is far from "normal".

Parfait pour remplacer celui d origine , facile à installer

Awesome

Hoped to use it to check out another same brand valve that was not working as I expected on my RO system. It shuts off water flow with pressures less than advertised and will not open up again until the RO tank is completely empty. Very low flow rate out of faucet.

The pressure regulator worked only for a day and completely cut the water flow. Even when it was working it just acted as a flow restrictor and the pressure on its output side was the same as input side. Not happy with this product. I hope I can send it back for a refund.
