Our water pressure is slow (in dedicated filter faucet) after installing an under sink water filter.

It all works fine but the dedicated faucet is flowing pretty slowly. Got a 30 PSI pump (photo attached) but due to the split valve it's running a bit slower. Could I install a slightly more robust pump to increase the water pressure? Thanks guys, relatively new campervan owner so go easy on me haha.

The consideration of what pressure you have for a pump will depend on your water heater and what the max pressure it can take

And of course your pipework

Thats quite normal for a decent filter when you consider the amount of filtration it has to go through.
Its not like a bit of nylon gauze in your kettle spout.

Agree with you there. We have a similar filtered tap in the kitchen at home with 2x filters inline. The flow from that is way down on that from the adjacent sink tap and that’s from mains pressure of 3.5 bar.

I believe it was around 8 bar/ 116psi? Precharged was around 15psi. It's not coming out agonisingly slow but I was just looking at my options. Cheers for the reply!

This is good to know, I said to another commenter it's not ridiculously slow, just wanted to check as we're going away on a trip in a few days so wanted to make sure everything is as good as it can be. Cheers!

I think you have left it a bit late to change things before you go away if its in a few days

I dont understand the 15psi bit.
The filter is NOT precharged...... But a surge damper is, but thats not a filter, it smooths any pulsing from the tap.
