low water pressure 2004 Itasca Horizon

[Kim Petersen]

I just re-watered my coach, filling it from my house with a hose into the h2o fill, not the city fill in the water basement, put 70 gallons in the tank. turned on pump to drain the rv antifreeze that we pumped in last fall, and with the pump on 12v we have very low pressure.
I put my garden hose from the house to the city h2o inlet and with my 12v pump off, and city supply on, still no pressure, very little any way. the toilet and shower and outdoor shower have fair pressure, but the vanity and kitchen sink are very week. I suspect an air block but why do I still get a trickle if it is air block.
if I wasn't already bald, i'd be pulling my hair out LOL

My first thought would be to check a couple things that are easy.
One is the valve/diverter which selects whether water goes to the tank or faucets/lines to be used. If left in the fill position, it can give very low pressure.

Second thought would be to take the aerators off each faucet and assure they are clear.

The three items you mention as being okay are not likely to have aerators.

thanks Morich, that will be an easy check. I'll let you know.

Morich, as I have been following posts for a few years, I notice you offer most excellent advice and usually "hit the nail on the head"! Once again you have given effective advice. the aerator screens were so badly plugged I am surprised I even had a drip. Kind of felt like a dummy but I was expecting the worst.
I thank you for reading and sharing your logical thought process.

Thanks for the compliments. Maybe any wisdom shown is due to hitting the nail WITH my head for so long? Eventually even a rock soaks up something!
