    Sadly it isn't as easy as that, if it was plumbers wouldn't fit water pressure reducing valves. I actually looked into how they work, in case ours here packs up. tis all to do with a spring and a diaphragm.

    That's a heck of a lot of pressure. 1 to 1.5 bar is normal in the UK at your kitchen tap. Peeps who buy their white goods in the UK and then plumb them in in France sometimes have problems as, if there is no pressure reducer fitted from the main...

    I am currently hoping that I can fix the electrical problem(s) with ours when I get home and that we don't end up having to get a new one. I do wonder if it ain't bust why you are looking to fix it? Or swap it out? Especially with the economic...

    Fraid it may well be exactly that. :( Even the steam cleaner ain't shifted the very last of the stain and now there is a light coloured ring around all but one o em. At least I'll only have to do one plank for each, I think, and they ain't long ones.

    Is it adjustable then? Start low, then wait for a pipe to blow off/leak then turn it back a bit :D J Edit 50psi is alot out of a hose. Are you sure your eyeballs are seeing it right?
