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 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?

  • Did you contact the outfit that sold you the system?
  • first thought is you may not have that system installed correctly.

    second, their ad promises 3-4 gpm flow at 60-psi. do you know what the pressure is there?

    what's the flow like without the filters?

    my advice...dump that filter system in favor of something simpler.
  • Something's wrong if you have 65psi going in and barely a dribble coming out.

    Try hitting the bypass for each canister in your setup to find the bottleneck.
