Just cut your 1 inch water main (or 3/4") and install a short length
of smaller (like 1/2" ) pipe - cheaper than a regulator, a whole lot
less trouble prone, and just about as effective.

Or do like I did and install a ball valve for a shut-off. If you think
the pressure is too high, half close the valve to reduce the flow
rate.


Just worried that if two or more faucets were opened a more reduced flow
would be noticed, whereas with a regulator it might not.
