I have a Forestriver Wildcat fifth wheel trailer. It has a water filter built in. That's probably not odd, but my filter is attached to the incoming water. Thus, the entire trailer water system is filtered; toilet, shower, et al. That doesn't seem to be necessary. The water flow is weaker through the shower due to this. I have taken out the filter from it's canister and tried the shower and found that the stream is twice as much. Is there a good reason why everything goes through the filter? A friend of mine has a Thor Jazz unit and their filter is below the kitchen sink.
I was thinking of putting in a bypass line, either with a valve so I can bypass temporarily or bypass straight through to the shower. If I bypass the filter with a valve simply by allowing water flow through the filter AND through the bypass, logic and physics indicate to me that the very little water will flow through the filter since water likes to take the easiest path. Is my thinking accurate? It would simplify the bypass if that would work. I would not need a valve that switches between bypass and filter.
