Topic: Water Issue 177 Posted: 21 Oct 2015 at 12:58pm |
Hi all, I have a 2011 Rpod 177 that we bought this year, we just got
to use it for the first time, this past weekend, and we have a water
issue I can't figure out, and need some help.
I have tried both ways, with water in the fresh tank, and hooked directly to city hookup. My
shower and commode water pressure seem fine, but the kitchen sink is
pitiful. Not even enough pressure to wash your hands. I checked the
screen in the little bowl attached to the pump, it was clean and clear. I
played with the adjustment screw on the pump...nothing All lines seem free of obstruction. Don't know what else to do, other than buy a new pump? Thanks ~Sean

If you have good pressure in the shower and toilet it isn't the pump. The screen on the kitchen faucet is probably clogged.

Same thing happened to me. Had lots of water in the bath but none in the sink. Unscrew the faucet aerator on the end of the kitchen sink faucet and clean out the internal screens. Mine were completely clogged.
Since then, I took a whole house water filter and modified it with hose ends to use while connected to city water or to fill the fresh water tank to keep sediment from coming back and clogging it again.

+1
I'd suspect sawdust, shavings and other miscellaneous dirt has gotten into the lines. Remove and clear out the aerator on the kitchen faucet. If the clog isn't there, then there's likely something jamming around the taps themselves. Unscrew the taps and have a look at the washers.

Well, I thought maybe the water pressure in the bathroom and shower was good, but it wasn't that good. I replaced the factory 2088 pump, with a new Shurflo Revolution this past weekend (also new screen filter attached), and now have water pressure that's great. Can actually wash my hands now haha, where before it was a slight trickle. Now time to start some POD MODS and build a cover for the stove and sink for wintertime dry camping, and I need something in the shower to hold the soap lol

probably will eventually replace the kitchen sink faucet, as it seems cheap. Had some leaks at the supply line nuts after checking the lines for clogs.
