Some or all of the rigs water lines probably need cleaning. Put a mixture of half and half vinegar and water in your fresh water tank. Run some thru the cold water lines, as well as thru the hot water heater and hot water lines. Then let it sit for a while. Then flush completely. This should be done yearly, regardless. You will likely see a white milky mixture coming out of your taps.
You can clean you coffee maker the same way.
(1) gal of generic white vinegar per 15 gal of water is more than enough. Fill fresh water tank 1/3-1/2 full with this ratio, ensure water heater also fills, run "ALL" cold and hot fixtures, inside and out, until vinegar smell is noticeable, let sit for 8hrs + or overnight then drain tank. Fill fresh tank with fresh water and drain. Your done until next use.
