Can this valve be used to adjust water pressure?... or it can only be used as on/off switch?

This is an off-on Valve. It can control the flow rate I am sure, but not pressure.

the pressure switch is connected by a cord, flexible and good length if you want/need to use it. I have mine set to just twist on. That's the great thing about this set up you can make it work with whatever you want it to. keep the cords on hand... never know what the future will bring.

Yes, the one I received is a variable valve, so you could use it for flow control.

This is only a on / off valve. You are describing a flow rate meter, and I don't know of a remote read meter.The water company uses something like this on my water account

No. It can't be used for a switch, the purpose of it is to conserve your hot water when it gets warm.

That's a good question. It uses water pressure that is controlled by a valve that you control with the knob.

I used it to control a 12v powered water valve remotely. Probably depends on the amp draw of your setup ... but if it was a higher draw than the remote handled directly, just put a 12v relay in the path to handle the amps/

Absolutely not, this is a mixer only and a very temperamental one at that. And is a flow restricting valve as well. It would work well for you if you want to turn on the water to a temperature, and leave it, but other than that, it is unable to change the rate of flow.

Yes. It is a quarter turn valve that can be positioned closed, fully open, or anywhere in between to control the water flow. It will stay where you put it until you move it, no springs or anything to bring it back closed automatically.

I only used the pressure switch with CA to control water pumps. I don't know if it could be used with DC.

Yes it does, that is the what the 2.5 gpm rating is specifying (as not to exceed 2.5gpm). The button is not intended for regulation, it is intended for shutting "off" the flow (less a trickle, for indicating that the water valve itself is still on) for ease of use by those with disabilities. That is why we by them for our facility, high use, durable, and inexpensive to replace. (Facility Director)

Yes, but you should consider your flow requirements when the valve is open. It's only a 3/4" valve, so there could be unacceptable pressure drop with high flow rates such as if you use it to control water to your entire house. The supplier may be able to provide a chart of pressure drop vs flow rate, or another Amazon user may have insight into this. My application doesn't require high flow.

Hi Cindy,Yes, you should be able to adjust your pressure relief valve. We would like to chat with you to try to resolve this issue. Can you please contact our product support team at (800) 822-7933 or productsupport@zodiac.com?Thanks so much for reaching out. Talk to you soon!Best,JuliePolaris

You can adjust the water flow using the handle just like any other faucet but when using the touchless on/off feature the water flow cannot be controlled. You can only manually control the water temperature using the touchless feature but not the flow level.

No. It is only a simple check valve for a water hose type system. If you want to reduce the water pressure, then you would need to insert a restrictive rubber washer or else get a pressure regulator.

Yes, there are 3 settings for the outflow valve: full, restricted, and off. It's that latter setting that enables "pause." The restricted setting is useful for keeping the hot water on the grounds longer, leading to richer flavor.

This switch is rated to switch 2400 watts of power at 120 Volts. If your water heater has an element that is less than 2400 watts, and runs on a 120 volt circuit, yes you can use this. It is not likely that your water heater meets these requirements. You can, however, use this switch to switch a relay that is rated to turn your water heater on and off. An inexpensive example of this is the Packard C230B. It will switch 220 volts up to 6600 watts and has a 120 volt coil. This is a mechanical contactor. You can also look for a solid state relay that will be quieter and last longer, but cost more.
