in this new coach the water pressure at the faucets run slow...not to bad in the shower. also,.the current pump does not run consistently when a faucet is on. not sure if pulling out the restrictors in the faucets will work to improve the pressure at faucets and run pump consistently when on????

I notice a metal chrome rack in picture...did you custom cut it fit for your needs? or did you find that size already fit to use?

Removing the restrictions will help. Changing pumps will not correct flow restrictors. On my 19 I have not had any problems. Also the 4048 is adjustable if the pressure is not 100%. I did adjust the one in 14, but the 19 seems fine.
I am trying to leave as many flow restrcitors in as possible. We do have a couple of places we stay and rallies that do not have water.

We had ours installed at Cowboy's facility (NIRVC-Phoenix) about 3-yrs ago. We were their first install. Wonderful system!

Lynn, yes, the system has a bypass. It's right on the control system...the two large valves.

On coaches from 2017 and later the ideal place for the softener is the most forward basement compartment on the driver's side; previous years had batteries in that location. It's not a deep space, there's plenty of room and the tanks can sit right against two bulkheads, strapped lightly with a bungee cord; there's no place for them to go while the coach is moving. The tanks are easy to access and don't get in the way in other more useful basement space. Wherever you put the tanks remember you need to be able to access the salt tank periodically to add salt.
NIRVC Atlanta wanted to install in the front corner basement space on a square drain pan; we found the one below that takes up less space and brought it with us. They may be using this one now.

Where are they located on the new fixtures and how many? Might help someone else looking to solve that problem.

The ones I found were in the faucet spout. Only one per faucet is all I found. Removed the restrictor with help of a faucet wrench..plactic tool that usually comes with the manuals. Or pick one up at home depot...cheap.
Once it was unscrewed then dig out the restrictor, what is left is the screen...replace back into faucet and should be good to go.

Nice to know it is behind the screen and faucet does not have to be removed. There is also one probably at each water inlet, but if the one behind the screen did the job, even better

Once I pulled out the one...flow improved and pump didn't cycle off and on. Also was pleasantly surprised that there was no debris in the restrictor or screen. But we do use a house filter and the on board filter that came already installed with the coach.

The Taj had Jim Robert’s full system, water softener AND deionizer, installed at NIRVC Atlanta just after their grand opening. We were the first and J.R did the install. I also wanted it valved so I could just deionize from my fresh water tank right to an outlet valve in my wet bay.
Softened Water is great. DW loves it. And the deionizer valve line up allows me to deionize water from the campground OR from my fresh water tank. (Since I don’t deionize all the water all the time.). We have washed down the coach at rest areas both in the states and Canada. I hook up my portable pressure washer and away we go! Cruzer gave me the idea!
Sure nice to have a spot free job when done.

I understand there is an option for a piece that will not allow the softener to regen and dump into the grey tank if the tank is to full, did any of you add that option?
We ordered a unit for our New Horizon 5th wheel and it should arrive Monday.

I'm not aware of this. Is it a sensor?
