Hi All

Our potty flush was working fine when we hooked up last time. I think there was way too much debri in the water tap and i didnt flush it in time, so for now the water pressure everywhere in the rpod the sink and the bathroom taps are fine. But the potty flush has slowed down.

Is there a way to flush out the debries any chemicals that people might have used to soften the debris, or do i have to wait for it to come out whenever it works its way out.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Rudy

If you're talking about the fresh water line, I think about the only thing to do is remove screens an filters and flush it out.

It sounds as if you know the problem, debris in line or valve.. Turn off the water, reach behind the toilet, pull the line from the toilet valve, (it unscrews) see how much pressure you have. If you have good pressure there, it's the valve on the toilet itself.. pull it and check it.

He may also be talking about the blackwater tank flush. More information needed.

Nope not the blackwater flush. I am talking about the flush in the potty, the pressure in there is low. I will take the hose of the back of the potty and check and report back.
