Toilet and hot water pressure help.

[ejd43]

Hello all, I have a Donetic toilet model 310. After it gets flushed, it will slowly dribble water and within a few hours we have a bowl full of water. After doing some digging, I noticed the valve would drip water, and the flushing pressure was next to nothing. So I took the water line off where it connects to the valve and it was plugged up with plastic shavings. Cleaned out the plastic shavings and the flushing pressure was restored to proper working order. Would a simple valve replacement solve my problem of the water filling up the bowl?


As for the hot water pressure. We hooked up and noticed the cold water pressure was significantly more than the hot. When we turn the hot on the water pressure is super low. Almost like it’s only open a 1/4 of the way. We checked all faucets all with the same result. Cold has plenty of pressure, and the hot, not so much. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks to all who replied! Much appreciated! Just got the new valve today so here’s to hoping it works!

Check my posts, I just had the same hot water issue on my new 2020 trailer! They had a crappy plastic check valve on the water heater, replaced it with a brass one and fixed the issue!!

You may have the winterizing valve on the water heater not fully open. If there are check valves in either the inlet or outlet of the water heater, they may be jammed with debris.

I did try taking the check valve off on the outlet side but it was being a bugger to get loose and I didn’t have all the proper tools with me. Should I just replace the check valve totally?

Usually the original check valves are poor quality, if you take it out replace with a better one from a home center.

Ask your wife to do it. She has more patience.

Where and Why do these plastic shavings come from? We have had our camper for 4 years and this is the first time it’s ever happened.

Your angle stop on the hot water is clogged. Gotta take them apart and blow out those same shavings to restore the water pressure.
