against the sink valve is the same. Only the flow changes. I found out a
long time ago that one of those little L-shaped plastic regulators you get
at RV stores will save you a bunch of money and replacement trouble. It's
not much of an inconvenience to use ask you know by now, but some of these
places. have way more pressure than you would ever have at home. So, yeah,
use a regulator if you want city water.
