I have a leak at the level also, but only when brewing, so I don't worry about it. I also don't use a pressure regulator, but I don't know what my line pressure is.

I don't use one either, and my water line pressure is 105 PSI. I do think I need one, however, because I am starting to leak at the bushing for the lever. Maybe others can comment on whether or not this is a wear part usually? My machine is about five years old, so I wouldn't be surprised if the bushing had worn by now.

    I recently installed a 1/4" in-line water feed for my Brewtus
    IV-R. I was
    told that it is a good idea to install a pressure reducing valve
    so I can
    regulate the incoming pressure. My current pressure in that 1/4"
    line
    is approximately 35-50psi.

    I did a search and could not come up with a good source for a
    pressure
    reducing valve for a 1/4" feed for an application like mine.

    Does anyone have any good suggestions: first, is this is
    required and
    second, where to find a reducing valve for an appliance like the
    Brewtus?

    Many thanks for any help you can provide........

    BTW: approximately 2-months owner and using the Brewtus and it
    TOTALLY
    ROCKS. I am sooooo happy with it and been making great espresso
    drinks
    each day. Even my family is getting involved!

    Unless your mains pressure fluctuates a lot (or is very high) I
    wouldn't worry about it. You can use the rotary pump regulator
    to give you 9 bar or whatever. I have a pressure regulator
    before my machine but only because I want to regulate the
    pressure for timed pre-infusion.
