I don't see the need for a pressure regulator unless you install a very large pump. The pump I bought had a pressure switch mounted on it. This regulates the flow. when I turn on the faucet, the pressure drops, and the pump kicks on. When I close the faucet the pressure increases untill the switch in the pump shuts off. I did add a accumilator. This stoped the pump from cycling rapidly on and off when the flow at the faucet was on low. The accumilator allow a larger time and greater flow between pump cycles.

The pressure Regulator and filter are good ideas. Use the regulator at all RV parks . There are alot of parks that run high water pressure to get every one in the park water . This destroys the water line fittings in trailers. The strainer will just keep anything out of your pump and water system. The accumulator tank just stores alittle water under pressure to help keep your water pump from woking so hard . But isnt needed the pumps are made to work without them.
