I know most of you guys have problems with water pressure when trying to setup an under counter reverse osmosis water filter. Many of them require 40 psi or more pressure. My sink faucet only had 20 psi.
The pressure at your faucet is determined by the water pressure coming into your RV or your RV pump. If you're consistently at 20 psi, then something else is going on. BTW, how do you know it's 20 psi?
I've been to a lot of campgrounds and almost all of them could maintain 40 psi.RVchamp420 wrote:

The "screw-on filters" look proprietary -- that is, you have to buy them from the RO manufacturer. Not a good idea.
I used a pressure gauge at the faucet. Reading was 20 PSI. Anyways, even 40 PSI is not good enough for a ro system. You probably would route most of the water to the drain side of ro because of low pressure. Never had a problem finding replacement filters though. They are easy twist-on btw, not the screw type found on regular home ro systems. After installing the ro and turning on the pump, it was hard to read the gauge at ro water inlet as the gauge needle was vibrating, but the average stood around 62 PSI.
