So to recap, and maybe I have this wrong:

1) Good water pressure out of all faucets on city water. That tells us the shower is OK.

2) Good water pressure out of all but the shower on the pump. That tells us the pump is OK.

3) The valve on the shower head did not get closed accidentally between tests (1) and (2).

The only other thing I can think of is to go back on city water now and try the shower again. Maybe something got clogged in between (1) and (2).

On ours, between the pressure restrictor and the water filter on the city water connection, we get better water pressure in the shower with the water pump.]]> Tue, 07 Jul 2020 19:36:51 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13744&PID=133413#133413 Water pressure : I think it would always have a... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13744&PID=133408#133408 Author: mcarter

I think it would always have a pressure issue. Not be good in city water and bad on the water pump. The water pump itself could be the issue.]]> Tue, 07 Jul 2020 18:43:17 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13744&PID=133408#133408 Water pressure : Is it possible that the screen/filter... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13744&PID=133407#133407 Author: RoverPod

My read is that when hooked up to city water the shower pressure is fine, but not so much when using the FW tank/pump.

Sounds like the screen at the shower may be clogged. This is quite common for the faucet at the kitchen sink; maybe not quite as often for the shower.]]> Mon, 06 Jul 2020 14:49:16 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13744&PID=133357#133357 Water pressure : it might be higher pressure when... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13744&PID=133355#133355 Author: offgrid

it might be higher pressure when connected to city water but it should be fine on the pump too. You don't have the little shutoff valve on the shower head closed by any chance do you? ]]> Mon, 06 Jul 2020 13:51:21 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13744&PID=133355#133355 Water pressure : Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help! It is consistent when using water from FW tank. Pressure is pretty good at sink and excellent at outdoor sink. I will check the shower head, however, the previous owners never used the shower 🤔

Is it normal to have better pressure overall when hooked up to water? We do have a pressure regulator if that means anything. ]]> Mon, 06 Jul 2020 13:31:03 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13744&PID=133352#133352 Water pressure : Could you please let us know if... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13744&PID=133348#133348 Author: jato

Could you please let us know if this situation repeats itself when you are using water from the FW tank. Also how is the pressure when you use the H and C at the sink and at the outside shower if you have one?

There is a good chance that the screen in your shower head is plugged with debris. Take it apart and see if that may be the case.

Is it normal to have extremely low water pressure when running water from water tank?

We just bought our first camper - rpod 182g. We recently camped at a koa with hook ups and I took a great shower. We usually do not camp with hook ups. Every shower since has been trickling down the shower wall. Perhaps the pump isn’t as strong as I was hoping. ]]> Mon, 06 Jul 2020 12:23:47 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13744&PID=133346#133346
