Fresh Water System Issue

[jburgessx2@...]

It may be that sediment and rust have gathered on the screen on the intake connector - it's happened to me several times even though I use two filters prior to entering the coach. Just unhook your hose from the coach and check that screen.

Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Fresh Water System Issue

----------------------------------------------------------



Hello All,

Background: I have been parked in a RV park for 10 -11 months. Over the last couple of months I've noted a decline in the the water pressure inside the coach while hooked up to the outside water supply. Incoming water pressure is okay. If the water pump is turned on, the system pressures up and holds the pressure normally. If the fresh water tank fill switch is engaged the sporlan valve (R-184) activates but the pressure and volume of water going into the tank is also very diminished.

I replaced the diaphragm and o-ring in the sporlan a couple of months ago and all still appears to be okay.



Present:

This morning I awoke to find the water pressure in the coach to be non-existent; nada; only a drip. Incoming pressure is still okay. System pressures up as normal if the water pump is turned on. When the fresh water tank fill switch is activated, the sporlan valve activates, the system pressure generated by the pump is dumped but no water is entering the tank now either.



The maze of plastic and copper tubing under the bed is a bit confusing to the non-informed. I traced it out as well as I can but I am drawing a blank as to where a logical place a blockage might be in the system piping. I'm not certain how the sporlan valve works and if it can be checked for flow across it without removing it or not. Does anyone have any insights, fresh water system diagrams or any suggestions in general?



Thanks,
