I have a regulator but that has nothing to do with a water heater. The water goes in and does not need to be regulated the GPM does not matter, it's not that sensitive. The pressure valve is only if it overheats but mine corroded so it didn't matter. I just wont be washing my rancid ass for a couple days.
I have no idea what a gpm is, but I do know that once we installed the regulator outside the house, we haven't had to replace the hot water tank every other year. Being without hot water sux.
