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 campground I permanently camp at has strong well water pressure (65 psi) and great flow. After I connected the filter system the water barely flows from the hose and all the fixtures in the camper have less than ideal water pressure.
So, I would like to keep the filtration system but need an increase in water flow after the filter system. How can this be achieved?

Well, I tested everything. Tried without filters. Tried each one individually. Eliminated each filter one by one. Tried different hoses.
And with all that, it was the 3rd filter (the metal trap filter) in the series that was causing the most restriction of flow.
So, I removed that and installed (2) 1 micron sediment filters in series and the 3rd filter is the .5 micron charcoal filter.
I probably reduced the effectiveness of eliminating the sulfur smell by removing the metal trap filter, but at least the shower can be used now.
Thanks for all the feedback and advice.
