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.

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.]]> Mon, 17 Sep 2018 08:02:11 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12206&PID=115138#115138 No Water Pressure From Faucet : Yes, it happens to me every spring... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12206&PID=115134#115134 Author: codycountry

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.]]> Sun, 16 Sep 2018 21:36:24 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12206&PID=115134#115134 No Water Pressure From Faucet : Hi Chris,Are you the same Chris... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12206&PID=115133#115133 Author: OldNeumanntapr

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.]]> Sun, 16 Sep 2018 19:00:06 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12206&PID=115125#115125 No Water Pressure From Faucet : Ditto! http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12206&PID=115124#115124 Author: Leo B

Hi R-Poders!

We bought a previously-owned 2017 R-Pod 179 about six months ago. We're on our sixth trip to Big Sur, CA, and I need help!

The last trip we noticed that the water pressure in the sink had started to decrease, but was still acceptable.

This trip, after we hooked up to city water, the pressure was ok for about 10 minutes, and then decreased to a slow drip. It's now unusable. The water pressure for the toilet flush is about 25-50% of normal.

The water pressure in the inside shower and outside shower are fine.

  • I've confirmed pressure from the city water is fine.
  • I also drained all water using the water low-point drains, and then re-hooked up to city water, thinking maybe it was an air bubble.
Neither of these helped.

Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions? Ouch

Thank you!

SLOChris
