    Our water pressure regulator is broken and I forgot where we bought the first one. Anyone know where to get one in Duma?

    (As we have sediment filter and water softener on all incoming water we need to reduce the pressure to the maximum 120psi those tanks can handle without blowing up, so a regulator that reduce frequent over pressure is needed).

    Polaris has a very good selection of plumbing parts and would be my best recommendation for a pressure reducing valve. I am curious on your set up where you are getting 120 PSI. 95 PSI is normally the max for a commercial building, 120 would ruin most fixtures.

    Yes, I would probably put it below 100 too. The tanks are rated 120psi that's why I wrote that. I guess there are some margin on them, so they could handle some excess pressure. But now, the pressure sometimes exceeds 200 !!!
    The fixtures is not a problem in our case though, as we just fill up an elevated tank and let gravity pressurise the resort. But, the filters are before the tank.

    OK, I think I understand your set-up. I would definitely reduce that pressure ASAP, 200 PSI is dangerous, a ruptured tank would suck. How are the filters holding up being before the tank? I was worried with my little set-up at the house and put the filter after the tank (gravity as well so a much lower pressure).

    One is on order from Polaris now. Found now place where they had it in stock. The filter tanks keep up so far.
