Imagine 17MKE Shower Pressure fix.

[OutdoorExplorerUSA]

Loving our 2022 17MKE but the shower is almost unusable. Yes, I have the cheap (not adjustable) Walmart water pressure regulator as well as a water filter. The pressure in the sinks and toilet seem fine. Any ideas?

Adjustable water pressure regulator?
Oxygenics shower head?
Remove a regulator inside the shower head?

Hi Brian,

You need to figure out whether you have a water "pressure" problem or a water "volume" problem. The way to do this is to Tee a water pressure gauge into the RV water system to see what is happening to the system pressure when you open a faucet or the shower valves. The easiest way to temporarily do this is to connect the pressure gauge to the cold water low point drain.

Go to the search tool in the upper right corner and drop down to "Advanced Search". In the Keywords field enter "System Water Pressure" and in the Member field enter "Cate&Rob". This will find you hours of reading material on all aspects of your question .

There usually is a flow preventer where the shower head hose attaches to the controls, undo the hose connection at the controls and you should see it. We moved to one of the oxygenics and have been happy with it. You can also remove the shower head and see what kind of flow you have from the hose and shower controls.
