Kitchen Sink Facuet

2017 FC been in service since Sep last year with 10,000 miles this past season
Factory replaced water pump and a few small issues about 10 days ago.
Prepping to leave and after filling water tank I noticed poor water pressure at kitchen sink. All other faucets and sprayers have strong pressure.
Connected to city water and no improvement. Looked for kink in PEX and worked cut off valve back and forth.
No improvement. Still only a heavy trickle of water.
Anyone can throw out a suggestion it would be appreciated.

I had the same issue, but at the toilet sink, and it was the aerator. The flow was weak when I bought the AS. I eventually got around to checking the aerator and as it was clogged with seemed like caulking, very sticky and difficult to clean. The aerator was replaced and the flow is super.

If this happens again at all faucets check the filter between the water tank and the pump. Does not affect city water, but crud in the filter can choke off water supply to the pump.

Hi

The whole "plugged up with crud" issue is one of the best arguments for running a whole trailer water filter. It does not need to be some exotic Coconut Carbon gizmo. A simple sediment filter bought cheap from Lowes or Home Depot is all it takes. Don't sweat micron ratings. You are after boulders on a micron scale ....

I just had occasion to pull the water tank on our 2014. I was amazed at the sloppy application of teflon tape and what looked to be rector seal that was inside the tank from factory assembly. I'm convinced this is the source of some of the problems.

The other source is your water heater, if your water has a high mineral content generaly calcium in these parts and it will come out of solution when heated and will clog aerators. The tell tail is a yellowish to white granular debree. A water softner is the cure for that problem.
