Low Water Pressure

2 completely, separate systems that have nothing to do with each others function.

OP.......
Rv has been set up in CG without an inlet filter.......so all faucets/showers are probably plugged up with minerals.

Other than plugged aerators at faucets and plugged shower head, the check valves (one in the city water connection and one in water heater hot outlet) are the only things in the plumbing system that would resistance flow)

When was the last time you drained/flushed water heater?

No sure how My Jayco system is set-up, but if my holding tanks are nearing full, water from the faucet reduces quickly, to a trickle then stops completely. If I drain the tanks, water pressure returns to normal.

How much water press at the pole?

Calcium build up in valve bodies of fixtures.

I've been in some CG's with weak water pressure so I suggest you start with checking the pressure before it goes into the rig. Need to know what you are starting with. When I'm in one of these CG's I fill my fresh water tank and run my pump to get a better shower. Then turn the pump off and use the weak city water pressure to flush toilets etc..

Other than checking all the screens, aerators, "y" valve at water supply with narrow passages, etc... you might try removing the flow restrictors. I drilled out the shower flow restrictor and changed the shower head to get a better shower.

There is flow rate and then there is pressure. Most pressure regulators etc restrict flow rate which is needed for a proper shower.

I am going to have a good look at everything this weekend. I will pull the aerators out of the sinks and the shower head off and see what the pressure is like.

I believe the only thing the valve does behind the water heater is bypass the heater. Am I wrong? Outside shower is off.

My wife will be astatic if I get this straightened out.

are the valves behind the water heater in the right position?? and another place to look is the out side shower. are both the hot and cold turned off.

take the shower head off the hose, aerators off the faucets. Is flow good then? I suspect they are clogged.

I have never used the storage tank but to pump antifreeze through the system. The issue is with all the faucets so its definitely something coming in. I do not think I have an incoming regulator but I will check and see this weekend when I go down.
