Anti clockwise should reduce the pressure. On the 100 PSI shurflow you can dial it down to 60 PSI, which is still enough to push water to the top of a 60' pole!

I used to have problems with ballooning in the hose and connectors failing, now I use the high pressure clear reinforced hose and brass connectors

Problems solved :)

Why not use the new Varistream, and just select whatever pressure you like?
