Question water pressure

We are working on our new to us 1999 28' Excella.

We have water pressure in the shower and toilet, but no water pressure in either sink. This is true using either the pump or city pressure. We have the books, but still can't find the valves.

What are we missing?

Thanks!
Pat

Check the screens in the aerators for mineral deposits that block the flow. Even while winterizing yesterday, I had blocked air flow from the kitchen faucet and the toilet sprayer due to material buildup.

The screens were blocked! Amazing how much sand was in them. We had water for a very short time and then it stopped, so there must be another blockage, maybe in the pump.

We will check further in the morning.

Thanks!

Most pumps have an in line inlet filter/screen. Good time to clean that out as well.

I'm following the other thead on this matter too. We have checked everything we can find to check but still no pressure.

We have water pressure!!

After taking the pump apart several times, we took it out, put water in a tube and hooked pump up to battery. It worked, so we put it back in the AS and it is now working!!!! We have water pressure! Must have needed a good shaking or something.

I do not know when the water system was last used for sure, but I thought about 6 months ago.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Our water system is free of sand and is working!
