You're welcome.  I forgot to say, if you put a small orifice, i.e. hole,
somewhere in the line between the gas supply and the water it will bleed a
little gas so that when you screw the regulating screw out the pressure
will actually get lower.  Otherwise you have to back off the regulator
screw then unhook the line for a moment to let the excess gas out.  Smaller
tubing works better for this, i.e. you won't need such a big hole to bleed
the pressure in a reasonable time because of the smaller volume of
gas.  OTOH small tubing can be a bear to get bubbles out of.

I think it was Mark Drillock's idea about the hole.
