    Spot on. I too had low pressure in my kitchen sink. I unscrewed the tip, removed the filter and found minute particles of dirt. Rinsed, replaced and voila!

  • Okay and what about a filter? Is there a hidden one somewhere I need to change ?
  • No only when you want to or need to when dry camping.
    Check the strainers.
  • The campground source is very strong and I don't use the water pump unless I'm using my fresh water tank. Should I always be using my pump?
  • Inline while house water filter? Have you cleaned the faucet strainers?
