Water pressure

I am currently staying in a site which has extremely poor water pressure. Would I be better off filling up my fresh water tank and using my water pump?

Or possibly using both at the same time....

You can connect to city water AND turn on the water pump. The pump will run to "supplement pressure" just like it runs "when it's supplying all the pressure"...

That way, your fresh water tank will not empty quite as fast and you won't have to fill it quite as often. Just remember that when you do run out of tank water, the pump won't shut off and there will be a "dramatic change in water temperature in the shower".... BTDT.....

Jim, sometime what appears to be poor water pressure is grit in your aerators on your water taps. Those things have tiny holes that are prone to clogging up. Just a thought.

My thoughts exactly about the grit and the aerators.
