city water connection

I would like to increase water pressure in my TT. It's permanently hooked up to city water. Is it a good idea to remove check valve for good? I believe it's not working correctly.
Thanks. Rich
  • Probably clogging, same thing happened to me.

    Does your bathtub and bathroom sink faucet do the same thing? work good then pressure drops?
  • Remove your hose and simply turn on the CG spigot. What happens?
  • 50 coming in checked with gage attached to the end of the hose. When I open the faucet pressure is good for a minute and then slowly goes down to trickle. Seems like something is restricting the flow. I checked everything else. Could there be reducer after the connection?
  • Isnt city water pressure at like 50psi?

    City water pressure around here is annoyingly high, combined with the heat, I pop hoses and clamps all the time on my rig
  • Check valve can restrict FLOW

    What is supply pressure?

    50-55# is what you should limit pressure to.
  • That won't help...at least I've not read about it. Do you have a pressure reducer on the line? Some people use the pump/tank instead, or with the city water.

    Removing the check valve will require you to plug that up if you do use your pump.
