Questions & Answers
Use waterline with a 1/4" outside diameter (OD) and is designed for quick connect fittings. A pipe cutter, box cutter, or razor can be used to trim your waterline. It must be a square, straight cut. There is a flow arrow pointing in the right direction. Push the water line into the end about a quarter inch or more until it stops and locks in. Between the inner collar and the outer housing, there might be two blue locking clips. br> To learn how to install a quick connect fitting, go to YouTube.
Before you add it to your cart, you must first choose between 25, 35, 40, or 70 psi from the drop down menu. Whichever option you select, the pressure will be reduced.
There were two in mine.

Selected User Reviews For iSpring 25659 Reverse Osmosis Pressure Regulator APR70 70 psi White RO Accessory
The water out of the dispenser has been on/off turbulent since day one of owning our Whirlpool WRX988SIBM03 Fridge, causing water to splash all over the place. It sounded like it had two speeds to it. We assumed it was the filter breaking in, but after three filters, it was still doing it. My brother purchased the same refrigerator and experienced the same issue. br>br>I decided to check the water pressure in the house, and while I was surprised to find it at 92 psi, it was still well below the Whirlpool manual's recommended limit of 120 psi. I did some testing by turning on the sprinkler system and a few other things around the house until I was able to get water out of the fridge in a steady, smooth flow. Instead of limiting the pressure to 40 psi, I purchased the 70 psi model, figuring that another 12 psi lower would suffice without limiting the flow of the water. br>br>After installing it, I realized I needed a braided cable to connect the fridge, so I went to Lowe's and bought a $10 1/4" PEX line to install the pressure regulator. I cut the new line about 16" from the fridge side with a razor blade, then installed the regulator with the arrow pointing towards the fridge, using the little blue clips that came with it, and then some of the existing tape to hold it to the back of the fridge. br>br>After installing everything, I tested it by running enough water through the lines to clear the air, and the problem went away. I'm so glad this worked and that the dispenser is now operational to the point where getting a glass of water isn't such a hassle.
When I realized the water pressure was far too high for the iSpring system I had purchased and half-installed, I was completely taken aback. I asked God what I should do, and he told me to go back on the hunt, which I did, and I found exactly what I needed. This is a small inline water pressure regulator designed specifically for the iSpring system. Whew.
I'm not sure if this is functional, but it was simple to set up. Also, if it works, it's a relatively inexpensive insurance policy compared to a water leak, and if it doesn't, I'll hopefully never know.
Before the installation of the ispring 70psi reducer, the pressure going to my RO was like this, and after the installation of the ispring 70psi reducer, the pressure was like this. There is no distinction at all. On Monday, I'll contact customer service. **Update** The product began to function two days after it was installed. It happened, I'm not sure how or why. The pressure has dropped to 65 psi from 100 psi. Nick assisted ispring, which was also known as ispring. He even sent me a replacement for the one that was defective. Customer service is excellent, and the rating has been increased to four stars.
My house usually has high water pressure, which causes water to spurt from the refrigerator dispenser and the supply hose to rattle loudly. This solved both issues while having no effect on the flow rate. br>br>Quality appears to be satisfactory, and installation is simple if you have 1/4" supply lines. It's worth noting that the GE "smart connect" line I had was labeled 1/8", but it's actually 1/4" OD and compatible with this product.
It took only 3 minutes to set up this fantastic product. I cut my ice maker's water line, pushed it into the regulator, and secured it with locking clips. DONE! br>There will be no more hammering from my water dispenser or the ice maker when it refills.
When using the upgraded spigot, iSpring advised me to use this regulator, and it appears to work perfectly. It's been up for about 4 weeks and seems to be working fine; I rarely give anything 5 stars unless it's a movie, so 4 stars is about the best I can give it.
The item leaks in where one part of the main housing meets the other; it's not a fast leak, but it happens once every five minutes or so. Who knows if it gets worse over time, but I'm not willing to take any chances.
