Hello everyone
So here is my plumbing setup for my camper van conversion. I decided to go with one of those smaller faucets you use to fill water bottles in order to use less water. My issue is that the faucet requires a 1/4 inch inner diameter tubing hooked up to it but as you can see the tubing going into the water pump is much larger. When I turn the pump on and open the tap, the smaller tubing just flails around and leaks, probably due to all the pressure going into the small tube.
My question: Should I run the same diameter of tubing on the outflow and get a barb to reduce the diameter at the faucet? Or will this cause pressure issues as well?
Thank you so so much for any insight. And Happy Holidays
