PUMP PRESSURE

I HAVE A 2008 2955 MONTANA AND AM DISAPPOINTED IN THE WATER PRESSURE FROM THE PUMP. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM?

I bought mine used and it has a Flojet 03526-144 that supplies adequate pressure but it is noisy.

Mine is OK but if I had that issue I would first look for a clogged filter or screen close to the pump.

I'm with Dave! I'd be looking at the filter screen on the intake of the pump. If it is not full of junk, you may have a gasket leaking and letting in some air which will reduce the pressure.

There also should be a pressure adjustment screw on the side of the pump. Just may be set to low.

On our 14 , I have cleaned wood shavings from our kitchen diffuser twice already. Could be the strainer at your pump.

The most frequent cause of clogged screens is bacterial material coming from the fresh water tank. If it is a screen problem be sure and sanitize your system. Even those of us who full time should sanitize twice a year.

The pump in ours was a 30 psi pump. When I put in the RO system I installed a 55 psi pump. It is not as noisy and maintains a better pressure.
