If your pressure is doubling after setting then your regulator is not doing it's job. Connect water regulator, open faucets to bleed out air. Close faucets and adjust regulator to desired pressure. You may need to open a faucet briefly to bleed off pressure after adjusting the regulator to get an accurate reading. A little pressure creep up is normal (we're talking 1 -3 lbs.), but what you're talking about is unacceptable. I think mine is a Valtera and cost about double what I've seen your brand listed at so maybe it's a case of you get what you pay for or maybe you just got a defective one.
