If you have a well it HAS to be installed after your pressure tank or youd burn out your pump if it closed. I'd probably install after the sediment filter although that does leave a potential bit very unlikely leak location
I guess I'll stick with my flume water monitor and a separate shutoff valve.
I have Phyn and its plumbing checks rely on pressure readings so if you don't have a regulator and pressure changes due to supply line changes, the nightly checks may return false results.
Not only pressure regulators reduce the flow or pressure of a hydraulic system. ANYTHING in the path of flow creates friction in the fluid and requires extra energy to overcome. This energy is pressure and there is a pressure drop across any obstruction, bend, valve, etc. Pressure is also the motive force behind flow and they are inversely proportional, but that's not what we're after.
There are 2 main types of flow meters, magnetic/inductive and some form of turbine/cone in the path of flow. Inductive are often snapped over pipes, but can be put in series like this one, but they tend to cost a lot more than this. Turbines or cones literally place a device in the path of flow. Turbines spin and they count the RPMs and determine flow, cones push a spring and a sensor determines how much it's moved, Yadaya math-viscosity-spring constant= flow rate. This type absolutely creates pressure drop and less force to drive the flow thereby reducing both. Is it negligible? I'm not sure, they don't have hydraulic documentation listed. But in a system with <50PSI, 5PSI loss would be substantial.
TLDR: Hydraulic engineer man says 90% chance this reduces pressure.

Does this have a little turbine in the path of the flow or is the pipe completely clear?
