Troubleshooting Low Water Pressure In An RV With A Pressure Regulator And Water Filter

Question:

Camco Evo Water Filter 40631 I have this filter plus water pressure regulator. Regulator is first, then the filter. Regulater is adjusted to 45-50 psi although it fluctuates. Seem to have low flow in the trailer. Is it possible the filter is restricting flow.

Since the water filter could become clogged with debris, sediment, etc. there is the possibility that this is causing the low pressure. You can replace the cartridge inside your filter with part # CAM40621 to see if this solves the issue. If not then it could be that the regulator is the issue and that you'll need to replace it with another like part # A01-1124VP. Regulators can fail over time or become clogged up internally so it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that this is your issue.

If you're using a water pump and not going off of city water it could be that the pump is in need of replacement or that you might need to add in an accumulator tank like the Seaflo Accumulator Tank for RV and Boat Water Pumps # SE38FR in order to help build and maintain pressure. If the pump is in need of replacement then I would need to know what you have so that we can match the GPM and PSI.
