Low water flow 2005 Allure
I have a 2005 Country Coach Allure 470 Siskayou with terrible water flow. I only get .8 gpm at my sinks and shower, and that is straight out of the line not with a aerator or strainer. On the input side of the filter I have 2.5 gpm. I thought it was my filter so I took the filter completely out a put a nipple across it for total bypass. This did not help with my flow at all. It doesn't matter if it is on hot or cold. I took the water panel off and I don't see anything out of the norm. Since I have 2.5 gpm going into the filter that rules out most of the normal issues.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I just had this issue with my 99 Allure, I had a factory installed pressure regulator and after I bypassed it my pressure was back to normal. Apparently it was stuck closed or clogged. I did not replace it and now just use a pressure regulator at the hose bib. Hope this helps.

Filter and Regulators are common culprits

Where was this regulator located? Did you have issues on city water and on pump? THANK YOU

Mine was in the wet bay beside the 12v pump, there is a door on the bottom left hand side, I used a 1/2 inch brass nipple to connect the two lines together. I only had the problem on city water, apparently the on board water does not go through the regulator.

Had similar problem with my Allure. Replaced the on board pressure regulator. Mine was attached to the back of the fresh water hose inlet. Cured the problem.

Replacement was identical to original.

I have this same problem but it's only when using the 12v water pump. The city water flow is normal. any idea what might cause that?
I replaced the main water filter, both the pump flow and the city water flow go through this filter, which didn't improve the flow.
