This solved the problem. It was the faucet aerator. I cleaned it out, and the water is flowing. It was full of crumbly white particles, perhaps calcium deposits. 

I'm still experiencing the low water pressure in the toilet, so I'll try to find if there is a similar filter in the toilet.



There is no "filter".. but there are a few places where the valve could get something stuck in it. I would first turn off the water, disconnect the water line at the base of the valve.
Turn on the water. Fountain? problem with/in the valve.
No fountain? problem with crimped or pinched line.
Troubleshoot either as needed.

There may be a chunk of debris stuck around one of the water supply line fittings.

And don't fill your tank from water that comes out of a volcano. Wink

Codycountry,

I take it you are cleaning out your water heater to remove the "flake". At least yearly. If your anode rod is degrading quickly, the quality of water you're getting may be suspect. Maybe high in Sulphur or hydrogen sulfate, if you are using a magnesium rod, try switching to aluminum, just for grins and see how that works. Keeping that little aerator clean is good.

Yes, it happens to me every spring when I de-winterize, and then at least once or twice during the summer.  White flakey stuff out of the water heater plugs it up on the fine faucet screen.  Simple fix once you figure it out.

Hi Chris,

Are you the same Chris I met at MB Dunes campground in early June, when we first bought our 180?

We took the pod up to Oregon last month for the NW Meetup Rally at Cann Beach. It was a blast!

I agree with the other posters; clean our your faucet aerator. They get clogged with bits of sand and other junk.

Chris, your faucet aerator needs to be cleaned every so often, depending on how much debris and calcium is in the water; same at home.
