How to increase water flow AFTER the filters?
Ok, I recently installed a RVwaterfilterstore.com filter system. The filter sequence is: a 1 micron sediment filter, a .5 micron carbon filter and the final one is a metal trap canister. The campgro...

- I use a filter system at the house and at the cabin. No RV, but both locations have iron / smell issues.
- Carbon filter helps, but to eliminate the iron and the smell, I had to have a carbon filter upstream and the last downstream filter was an "RFFE" filter, the filter people simply called it an "iron filter".
- Recognizing that I don't use it on an RV, I'd suggest: a) taking out each filter in sequence and seeing how the water flow is affected; b) going with a 5 micron carbon filter as the upstream filter, an iron filter as the 2nd "midstream" filter and ditching the "metal trap canister"....although I'll admit to not knowing what that is, on both my house and cabin systems, I only have the two filters. If there was a "simple system" you used previously, try putting an iron filter as the downstream filter in that and see how it works out.
You've got a flow issue, so I'd also check the filter housings for physical impediments or a clogged orifice.
Thanks for the feedback. Your option "A" idea makes a lot of practical sense. Hopefully, it is something simple.
