An explanation of the Easy Press (pressure regulator) from Vido: Why you need it for the pump, the difference between the two models, specifications, and installation tips.
What is the Easy Press?
The Easy Press (pressure control) is a device installed at the pump outlet; it turns the pump on automatically when you open the tap and turns it off when you close it, and it protects the pump from dry running when the water runs out. This way, you get constant water pressure in your home and protect your pump from burning out.
