We use a softner. But still very slow water pressure. Always a Problem.

If using a water pressure regulator at the spigot, and you should, check the gauge and adjust the water flow to increase to a safe operating pressure. You may want to review the following post  ‘Low water pressure in bathroom’ for remedies others have undertaken to resolve low pressure issues.

Yes @MnG KY the other thread just got bumped. She removed the OEM installed restrictors to use the external pressure regulator (restrictor-bad, regulator-good). My first picture shows the backflow preventers (necessary) coupled with restrictors (should remove if using external regulator).

I also removed all the OEM valves that had 1/4" openings for motorized ball vales with 12mm openings (.25" to .47"). The valves on your newer hull look different but are still small ID restricting. The drill bits in the second picture are 1/4" and 3/8" showing the inner diameters of these parts. OTT installs 1/2" PEX plumbing but the system is downgraded at every elbow, connector and even more-so at every valve.
