Water pressure

Have been getting some fluctuating output from my still which I think I have traced back to inconsistent water pressure. What do you guys use to control this?

Cheers.

are you on mains or tank water?

Mains.

You could use a pressure regulator. There was a post about them here not too long ago.

Mains water pressure shouldnt fluctuate that much that you would notice it at condenser flow rates? I have barely a turn on my garden tap and that provides enough flow to my needle valve to regulate water flow through my PC.
Town water is usually pretty consistent unless get a broken main. Or you are on water restrictions in your area?

Picked up a pressure reg from bunnings. Just did a run and the output was much more consistent. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
