Water Pressure

[rohngibson]

I have a 2022 Berk XLT 45CA and currently limit the water pressure to 45-50. We have 2 full bathrooms and with the pressure this low it’s impossible for both showers to run at the same time. I’ve read that you can go as high as 65 but wanted to check here first. Thoughts or recommendations?

How is the water pressure when using the water pump?

 

[rohngibson]

It says 55 on the pump.

It says 55 on the pump.

I don't think he's looking for a number. I think he's asking "Do you have sufficient water flow at both showers IF you are operating with the 12v pump and not on city water?"

Correct, yes sir. Thank you. The water system is designed to run from 50-65 PSi and a drop in the supply pressure would also affect the Aquahot hydronic heater flow rate as well. I would check the screens inside the water supply hose for any obstructions also I would check the water manifold to make sure the valves are fully opened

Personally i have never seen larger then 1/2 water lines in any rv . running two showers with 1/2 pipe would be under sized no matter how you look at it . if i have my bathroom faucet running and flush the toilet flow diminishes greatly . 2 showers flowing with a 1/2 supply would have the same effect . upping pressure will help some

Adjusted pressure at the water valve from 40 to 58 and we can now run 2 showers at the same time. Pressure is not the greatest but definitely doable.

if you not getting good flow look for restrictions
kinked hoses etc
-----------------------------------------------------
the regulator itself may be restricting flow too much... get a better bigger flow one
you can test if your regulator flow is allowing enough through by NOT using one.
remove it for testing... does the FLOW get better?
should not hurt to remove unless you got ridiculously high city water pressure

you can connect to your house... as it is a known water source that is probably NOT popping all the water connections.
