No pressure kitchen faucet

[scubadog]

I have a 23ft 2012 FC. Two months ago the plumbing was fine. Today there is no pressure in the kitchen faucet. The hose bib has plenty of pressure. The shower hot and cold are fine. The vanity has cold pressure and a dribble of hot. The hot and cold in the kitchen faucet has no pressure yet the hose sprayer works and the filter water works.

I tried using the pump with the fresh tank. Same result.

Any ideas on what to try next to fix this?

Thanks.

Sounds like the aerator in the sink faucet is clogged. Could be something similar in the vanity.

Thanks for the quick reply. I looked through more threads and found that same suggestion. The kitchen faucet screen was full of crud. Once cleaned , it works well now. I cleaned the vanity screen. The cold has good pressure but the hot is weaker. No big deal. Thanks again for your help.

Hi, to help prevent this problem, I connect my fresh water hose to the post first. Then I turn on the water until a full flow comes out of my hose. Then connect my fresh water hose to my trailer. This clears my hose out of anything that could get in the system.

Then just add a filter to that fresh water setup, and it’s even better.

I was appalled at the “stuff” that fell out of the filter when I retired one at the end of a single season. Accidentally left it full of water, and when I drained it out the inlet...yukkies!!!

When storing away my water hose, I was taught to always ensure it was drained of water, roll it, and then screw the 2 ends together to keep hose interior clean of insects, leaves, etc.

Hi, yes, I always do this too.

Also, before hooking up, a little squirt of bleach into the hose end is a wise idea after flushing the bugs and stuff out...and a light spray on the inlet fitting is not a bad idea either--its out there just hanging out collecting whatever blows by...

I add a brass garden hose shut-off on the male end of the water hose. This makes it easy to flush the hose, fill the FW tank or whatever you need to do.
