check valve / regulator

I am doing some plumbing, and was wondering if I need the regulator and the check valve located on the starboard side? It looks OLD as can be. ( I have a check valve preventing anything from going past the pump and into the tank. ) What is the regulator for? [img]http://vagoldenretrievers.com/a_March02.jpg[/img]

That is the water pressure regulator to control shore water pressure if you are connected. Great way to sink a boat. Nice name.

I disconnected my dock side water long ago.
