Water Pressure when boondocking

[gojodo]

Our water pressure when boondocking is next to a dribble and that is about it. For maybe 5 to 10 seconds we get a good pressure if the pump is primed and ready but then it drops like a rock to a low pressure. I installed an in-line accumulator (I think that's what they call it) and it shows it is pressurized to 30 lbs which is what it calls for. I also have a new Surflow (top of the line) pump. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks John Weber

Do you have low water pressure at ALL outlets?
Could it be a similar problem to this?

If the problem is at all faucets, as WorkerB suggests, it almost sounds like there is some obstruction in the line prior to the pump that falls back when the pump is turned off and then gets sucked back up when the pump goes active. That's just a pure guess, though. Otherwise, possibly a faulty pump? I assume there is no problem when on city water?

Also, is there a screen on the water pump inlet that might be partially plugged? I don't know if there is or not.

I am really curious about this and would appreciate hearing what you find. Good luck with it.

Thanks for the suggestions, I did find a small leak which I fixed but which didn't fix the entire problem. I will check the in-line filter to see if it is clogged.
