Our rig will lose flow as soon as the filter becomes clogged. We use the charcoal impregnated filter available from wallyworld in the filter section of the store. They are 5 GPM flow rated filters and good for 15,000 gallons. The number of gallons and time are dependant on the quality of water you put through the system. They also are inexpensive at wally world since I get 2 in one package for $10.00. We are in a rather lousy water quality (taste) area right now and the filter does a great job at making the water taste good.

We use a pressure regulator, not the cheap plastic or brass ones in RV stores but a residential adjustable one. It flows 5 GPM and is set for 65 PSI. I have a seperate gauge and check the pressure at the spigot. If the pressure is over 60 PSI I use the regulator. I've been at a couple parks where the pressure was over 100 PSI and do not need to break a line in the rig.
