Pressure Reducing Valve

[planemad]

Hi

Our incoming water pressure from the town main is approx 10bar over night and 8 bar during the day.

Turning on the kitchen tap only slightly meant that you got wet.
Our water pressure also was more than the ratings on some of our appliances.

I have installed a Honeywell pressure reducing valve to my incoming main.
What is the best and recommended pressure that I should set the dial to?

Thanks

2 or 2.5 bar

What do the instruction about its default setting? Most come out of the factory set at 3 bar. I'd try that initially.

The instructions with the valve are crap and are more in German English and cover the fitting and maintenance rather that the best setting.

It came set to 3.5b in the box.

3 bar is what you want it at as Charmwood said although 3.5 is also fine
