When the one that connects to the faucet came out there was a thread started here about it.
One of the questions brought up was contaminating the water supply.
I did some research and it is built with a back flow type preventer inside.
There is also no need for a regulator

Final testing isn't complete as I have yet to buy a faucet type MG device.

One thing I did do was make a mistake on the hose end threads.
They need to be female internal or you would need a female female adapter to connect to the hose the right way.
It would be best and cheaper to just buy the fitting you need to fit the end of the 3/4 PVC pipe.
One of the things I did do with my hose end MG contraption was to take it apart and bore the orifice out to 0.040.
