Erratic water flow

Question

My kitchen and bathroom faucets are both flowing very erratic. Almost in a spray type pattern. I think I know what caused the condition. Early this year I did a quick winterization. Using compressed air through the city connection. After I de- winterized I noticed this abnormal water flow. Could it be debris just caught in the faucet or line?  I have taken out the diffuser screens, no change there. Any ideas?

My trailer has one of these in-line clear water canister filters just a few inches away from the city water connection.

Might check to see if you have one. You can unscrew the canister with the city water disconnected and check the filter...

Thanks, but I do not have an in- line filter system.

I use the air compressor method all the time here but the compressor is a tankless 12VDC model. It takes a longer time to build up pressure which is what I like to see when connected to the city water port.

They warn you against hitting the water lines with alot of air pressure...

If you are using a pressure regulator there may be something inside of it that is causing a problem.

Do you hear your water pump kicking on and off? If so, perhaps the compressor caused some damage to the valves in the pump.Mike
