How can I increase the water flow on taps in my Avondale Dart 55/6?

I am having trouble with the rate of warer flow in my touring caravan Avondale 55/6 take absolutely ages to fill a kettle etc just get a trickle from the taps...I know that the "pump" has to be reset when setting up but despite numerous attemps the water flow is pretty poor I was too trusting of the chap I bought it from I thinks!)

There will be a strainer on the suction side of the pump, which could be partially blocked. Just unscrew it and empty it out. That may help with the water flow.

the only way you can increase the pressure is to change the pump to a inline shurflow system which will double the amount of pressure basicly
