Will this work to slow the pump on a Whirlpool bathtub and lower the pressure of the jets?

Yes, if that pump uses a brushed "universal" style electric motor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_motor I have never taken one of those bathtub jet pumps apart, so I can't be sure what type of electric motor it uses. I just looked at some pictures online and they look like simple, compact motors. Which means they're probably brushed universal motors. I have used this speed control unit on a garbage disposal motor and it works well. It also works for vacuum cleaner motors.

I believe that it should work. I am using it on a 2.2 gallon per minute 2700 psi machine and it seems to "over perform" so I would try on your machine.

Yes it will. I have a 1/2 hp 10 gpm submersible pump set to 50- 75psi. My well is for lawn irrigation and water trough for cattle. I have done this for years. A pump technician had suggested this to me to solve a "short cycling " problem. We regularly would hand water with one hose going and the pump was cutting off and on very frequently. I turned up pressure till the pump would run constantly with one hose only in operation. I also Highly recommend the low pressure cut off feature as this can save your pump if you run out of water.

As far as I know this is used on a well, it cuts the pump on when the pressure drops to 30 pnd and off at 50. not sure if that would work with an irrigation system or not but if works with a pressure sensing switch and those pressures it might.

Yes. Get a variable potentiometer, a dial equipped piece of equipment that will vary the voltage so you can slow the motor to whatever speed you want.

These pumps are not designed to create pressure. It is not recommended, it will shorten the life of the pump.

Yes, I think this would work for your application. This not a float activated pump and requires at least 1/2" water to run. It's best if you have a way to turn on and off as once plugged in it will check for high water level every few minutes, if water is high it pumps until lower than 1/2" at pump.

No, It may take more than one application and would probably work best if the pressure was relieved first.I used it on a hot tub that was not under constant pressure, but when the pumps were on, the leak would start and I had to patch it several times to stop the leak all together.

Yes. It decreases water pressure to both, but they will work at the same time.

Yes it should if it's at least a 1/6 hp as they recommend... I have a 1 hp 3 gallon compressor...and you can regulate the pressure.... if the hose does not fit on your compressor ... you can buy an adapter at any hardware store...

I am not sure about your application but if the previous pump was vacume(pressure pulse) operated, this should work for you.

Depends on how strong your air pump is dial back the pump and you get less flow

I don't think it will. This seems to regulate the speed of the wipers. I would check the pump and make sure the nozzles aren't clogged.

The filter does drop the pressure a little, but has a steady flow. Since there is a male end and a female end on the filter, you would likely have to put it inline between two hoses. (Maybe a short 3' one at the spigot and a longer to the pressure washer?) The filter does do a great job of removing a lot out of our well water for our hot tub.

My guess is that because the pressure is less than in home plumbing, this would work. It might be hard to wrap it tightly around small flexible tubing. This needs to be stretched and wrapped tightly.

On my system, there is a little "switch" on the side of the pump which can be adjusted to a lower flow...hope that helps

I found that this slows down the water flow rate significantly in a short amount of time, so I do not use it for that purpose. I now use it with a 1/2" dowel for glass cleaning. It works great!!
