will this item reduce water pressure?
1278903
No. It is designed to keep water from siphoning back into the drinking water supply to the building.
1278904
In my experience, Yes. However, I bought it just once and it could be defective from the very beginning.
1278905
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.

No. This device prevents water from flowing the wrong way--back into the pipes were unwanted water might contaminate the fresh water system. These are required by some jurisdictions on all outside faucets, for example. To reduce pressure you need a pressure reducer.

Yes. When doing so the pressure of the flow will obviously be reduced in both but it is a nice feature

I am not the seller, but yes, it could reduce the pressure ever so slightly. I think though that typically, it is negligeable as the GPM flow (only a few GPM) is not that high. Do some searching on line. Pressure drop is common on long lengths and high flow rates, but I doubt there any effect here. fyi - I wouldn't buy this hose. Buy a CAT.

I've had this unit for some time with no noticeable drop in water pressure.

We did not get it for the pressure. We got it for the ease of cleaning and the size. Our water pressure is fine. We just installed one for my 81 year old mother and she loves it.

I have used these for many years, and I have not noticed any significant reduction in water pressure. We have a drilled deep well in Georgia. You can get significant pressure reduction if a heavy load of sediment builds up in the filter, of course. We change our filter cartridge about twice a year, but, if you have a lot of sediment you may need more frequent changes.

I do not think so. I returned this item because I tho it the pressure of flowing water was not strong enough for me.

My husband says it would if the drip system has a governor on it to decrease the pressure.

Not sure if it reduces the pressure but I actually use it with a 1/4" dripline and it works pretty good.

Yes no problem but its dependent on the water pressure supply it's attached to
1649733
Yes, however since the water will be split, the pressure will lower a little bit.

Yes-- the water pressure will be reduced some as compared to a bigger dia. hose.[That is physics ] However, if you have very good [i.e high] pressure to start with, it will not be a very notable reduction. If your pressure is not very high to start with, the reduction will be much more noticeable.

YES! We have low pressure. It is like hooking up a power washer to a garden hose. There aren't a bunch of settings, but you can adjust it to be less intense. I highly recommend this product. I have had one for over 10 years.

Not sure what you mean about reducing pressure you can only have either the shower head OR hand held unit operating at one time. I did not notice a drop in pressure to the shower head from when I installed it.

yes-If you have low water pressure naturally-remove the red screen at the hose connection.Plyers help

There is no noticeable reduction in water flow or water pressure even with two shower heads in operation.. Love this product.

Not sure - our water pressure was approximately 70 psi and it works great. I believe the specs state that you must have, at a minimum, 50 psi. 35 psi sounds a little on the low side and would probably not work (of if it did, it probably wouldn't work very well).
