City Water Connection problem
When I hook up the city water to the tt all I get is a trickle of water inside the tt, all faucets. I cleaned out the screen insert but no help. If I want pressure I have to use the pump from the onbo...

IF the inlet screen/washer on the city water hose connection is clean then the check valve just behind that inlet screen is stuck closed of falling apart.
The check valves are cheap junk (small plunger, spring & o-ring). the o-ring gets dislodged and jams up the action......or the plunger gets cocked sideways.
You can try and reset it by pushing in on the tip of plunger (with out any pressure on system) and that sometimes works....otherwise will need to replace (usually the whole city water assembly :S)
The check valve is there to stop water from coming out the city water connection when using your pump.
Instead of replacing mine (whole assembly) I just removed the internals and put a brass garden hose shut off valve on......no more flow problems due to cheap plastic junk.
