Low Water Pressure

[John Suter]

As to water pressure, the culprit is the entire
inlet assembly which is a combination pressure
reducer/volume limiter and checkvalve.

Some of us have reworked/replaced the entire
assembly with a commercial 3/4" brass adjustable
pressure regulator, a 3/4" checkvalve, and the
necessary fittings to couple to the existing hose as
the hose is not the problem we originally thought.
That also requires a new metal plate to fill the
original opening and to provide the structure to hold
the 3/4" female hose connector. Total package cost
approached $100 but was well worth it to achieve
volume from the shore water similar to that you
experience at home. While we were at it, some added a
pressure meter. One caveat - care has to be exercised
in the winter months as the volume of hot water can
easily exceed the capacity of the Aqua-Hot. Of
course, that depends upon the difference between the
inlet water temp and your shower temp preferences.
