Low water pressure at pedestal

Only 25-30psi at camp ground. what can be done?. and do the watts regulators ,regulate only high pressure. thanks in advance.
  • Low CG water pressure..Watts regulator will be wide open allowing as much pressure as possible. Will only start regulating when supply pressure goes above regulator set point.

    IF you are frequenting areas that have hard water.....look into a portable water softener.

    We use an On-The-GO Portable Softener when we are in AZ, TX, NM etc. due to hardness. It stops all the scaling up in toilet bowl, water heater tank and faucets. BUT we buy drinking water when in those area too. The softeners use salt to regen and it doesn't make very good coffee, tea.
  • good idea.will do that at a latter date,as the water is very hard& d w wants to get the shampoo out with the soft in the tank
    thanks al.
  • Run the low-pressure water into your internal fresh water tank, and use your pump to get decent pressure.

    The Watts regulator only deals with high water pressure. It'll take an external pump to deal with low pressure.
