water into trailer

We've been hooked up for 3 weeks and all was well. All of a sudden water is not coming into trailer. Thought someone must have turned off the faucet but no it is on. Any help?

    Is the hose kinked, If you disconnect the hose at the water inlet on your RV, is there water coming out of the hose? If yes, check the little screen in the city water connection, sometimes they get clogged with stuff in the water.
  • Okay no kinks screen clear. I took off the pressure regulator and we now have water. Could it be a faulty regulator? Strange.
    Thanks for the help.
  • I have had water regulators stop working because they get a build up of minerals inside. You can fiddle with one trying to clean it out or just replace it. I always carry a spare just in case this happens.

  • Thanks Bob but not running through pump. There is a little button thingy in place where you connect the hose to the trailer. I pushed it in and wiggled it around a bit. It might be that? But have water now that I took the regulator off.
  • Hooked up at home to my house spigot, my in-line hose filter and regulator will clogs up about once a week. I simply take them off the hose and force water through the opposite end. It backflushes the "gunk" out and I'm good again for a few days. I'm on a well at home and it's really full of minerals! My outside faucet does not go through our home filtration system.

    Just take the regulator and force-spray it the opposite direction. It will probably clean it out and you'll be good to go again for a while!
  • I've had my Watts regulator stick from sitting over the winter and not flow water. It's not that hard to disassemble and clean.
  • make sure you get a water regulatorback on as soon as you can you don't want to come back and find you blew a water line because the water pressure spiked and blew things apart
