I have 4 of these. My water pressure is more than 50 psi. The water heaters keep leaking and alarming. How do I adjust the pressure release valve ?

we took the little screw out. adjusted the pressure but it blew out, the wiring got too hot when we used it more then an hour, 7 showers. I installed a 40 gallon glass lined heater no more fighting with water pressure and temps.

Also my water pressure is way too high, so I just leave less than half open, it's more than enough

This valve is design for water only with high pressure. You need to find different valve.

Hi, we also have a well and our water pressure is not real great but this still works very well. I am very happy with it, works great.

I had trouble with that too. You have to be very careful as the alignment of it very precise. If you don't do it exact you will hit the valve and it will release water. Do this just temporary. Put the whole thing on your kitchen counter top so that you can see it closer. Do this with no water in the tank just to practice. You will see what has to be lined up to keep from hitting the valve to soon. Practice putting the tank in place. This will let you see how precise you have to be to not hit the valve to soon. Now put the unit back on the floor and go thru the motions you just learned. You got to be patient. Hope this will help you. Al

Hello Vikas, firstly you need to determine the source of the leak. It is most likely from one of the connections. Try to isolate which one. If that is the case you can easily fix it yourself by checking each one and making sure that they are tight. If it is coming from the body of the unit then you should return it because that would mean that the product is defective. The instructions aren't great. I would gladly send you a picture of the unit already connected so that you could see it more easily but I don't think there is a way of attaching a picture to my answer. Best of luck.

I have one of these Upholstery Nailers and don't have this issue but you can control the pressure with an inline regulator which I have on mine, it's at the end of the hose nearest to the gun with a quick disconnect.... Hope this assist you somehow.

That's gonna be hit and miss. Turn off the water and listen for the internal valve to "click" as you approach and adjust accordingly. If you don't already have the unit, that will be tough.

Your plumber probably installed a 40/60 pressure switch and it will cut off at 60 psi. there is a small adjustment screw you can dial down the pressure. If this does not work for you you may need a 30/50 switch.

Look in the center of the spray adjustment wheel. There should be a screw. Try tightening it and that may stop your problems with it leaking.

When i had mine installed the well man explained how the whole thing worked but that was a while back and I've forgot. He did set the PSI for a Max of 70 on mine. I do remember him saying something about setting it too high also. You can probably call your well man and he can explain it. Hope this helps.

I went thru 2 of these. We had pretty high watee pressure and the switch leaked on both of them. It mostly turnrd it off but there was a constant dribbling when i usedvthe switch.

Have your boiler serviced asap. There is a problem if your relief valve is tripping at 30 lbs pressure

I always place the setting to "II" and start timing when the opposite safety valve pops up AND a small stream of steam begins escaping through the adjustable valve (a very small amount of dripping from condensation will appear around the seam of the handle.) Turn the heat down to low to low/medium at that time and watch out for overpressurization, evidenced by a buldging appearance of the silicone rubber sealing ring through the lid "window". If this occurs, just keep turning temperature down.

I know my home has higher than normal water pressure, and 3 out of 3 of these stopped working reliably for me after less than a dozen uses, so I think they can't hand anything higher than the typical pressure range of water mains. I wouldn't be surprised if 200 psi blew the thing up.

When we installed ours initially, the water pressure from the house hose bib was too high (the pressure was too high for the float mechanism in the Staypoolizer to overcome). When we added an inline water pressure regulator like those that are typically used for RVs (http://www.amazon.com/Camco-40055-Brass-Pressure-Regulator/dp/B003BZD08U/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1349227544&sr;=1-1&keywords;=water+regulator) it lowered the water pressure enough for the Staypoolizer to work properly.

Loosen and retighten the bolts at each joint. If it still leaks, it is defective. Return it to Amazon.
