2016 Adventurer: Waterpump works, but shower & toilet dont?

Hi folks,

MY 89RB waterpump still works fine from what I can tell. I turn it on, turn on the kitchen sink and it has great pressure and the pump pumps. I go to fill the toilet and nothing (sometimes barely a trickle) comes out. Same for the outside shower.

Any ideas why those outputs would suddenly stop producing?

Thanks,
Ryan
  • Thank again for the help folks, I was able to fix the issue. The toilet and outside shower were plugged with deposit. All good now!
  • You have mineral deposit build up. You need to remove the Toilet water valve and clean it out. Remove the outside faucet and clean it out. Quick way to determine blockage----- remove the water line from the toilet and point into a bucket. have someone turn the water pump ON. You will know in a few seconds if blockage at the Water Valve.

  • troubleshooting 101. Start where it's working, and check every connection until it's no longer working. There's yer problem!

    probably a kink or something.
  • My guess would be debris in the line feeding the two or a kink in the line going to these fixtures. Are they in a slideout? Visually follow them from the source to the fixtures to see if they are pinched somewhere.
    If they appear to be good, check the supply at each fixture. Turn the pump off as well as disconnect city water supply. One at a time, disconnect the line at the toilet valve, and turn the pump on, if the pressure is good, then the problem is in the fixture valve, debris or malfunction. Obviously use a bucket or big towel to collect the water.
    If only a trickle comes out, then the problem is in the lines, debris from the build or ??
