Well.. Thought the "Turn on the water pump" answer sounds facetious, That is exactly how I do it in many cases. Here is the set up and the problem.. Park I was just at has a lot of "stuff" (mostly rust) in the water, This very quickly clogs my Camco CX-90 filter (In fact I have to clean it, the part that clogs can be cleaned, I'll clean it tomorrow or Monday) Result is that it took me nearly 8 hours to fill my 80 gallon fresh tank with a park pressure of 45 pounds (That's 10 gallon per hour, it should pass 3 GPM)
So I filled the fresh tank and left the pump on
Fix 2 is a better filter or clean the filter (Which I will do shortly)
Fix 3 is to change your setup
My normal set up is this
Park hydrant-Regulator-----hose---------filter--hose--rig..
You could go like this
Park hydrant--------hose----Filter-regulator-hose-rig
However.. I do not suggest this as if the park pressure is high enough it can "Explode" your filter (I have seen parks with over 100 PSI)
The system I'd like to do is this
Hydrant-regulator 60-70PSI long hose, filter, regulator 45-50 PSI short hose, rig
This is what I'll end up with.... Soon as I get a second regulator I like
I may be setting up this way next week and only turn on water pump for shower
(My #2 regulator is a "High volume" inline RV regulator, #1 is a genuine Watts adjustable, I can set it to 60-70 PSI which will protect the CX-90 and still feed it well enough for most uses in the rig, the high volume regulator is ALMOST good enough for me to shower with, I really want to fix my other watts but it's too old for a repair kit to be listed)
Nothin adds excitment like something that is none of your business
