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...

Dont confuse pressure with volume as you trouble shoot. If your pressure at the source is good then you have a flow/volume issue. Trouble shoot with a process of elimination. If you were to put a pressure gauge on the outlet side of the filters or at the faucet you should see the pressure as the same as at the source. When you open the faucet and the flow slows its an indication of a volume issue. .5 seems pretty small but as mentioned others have used them. Pressure is created at the pump and builds when you shut off the faucet. Again, volume and pressure are two different things. You say increase the pressure after the filters which you might think could be solved with an additional pump after the filter but it doesn’t work that way. You would then be restricting the intake flow to the pump. Some pumps are damaged by low intake flow because they can have cavitation
You are correct, I mixed up the terminology. I edited the original post to reflect the correct information.
