Water pressure really low on shore water

[chaunceyboyblu]

Hello to everyone,

We are having an issue with our water pressure inside the coach that seems to be
getting worse. We are having decreased water pressure when hooked up to shore
water. It works fine with the pump on. It always seems to be worse in the
morning after it has not been used for several hours. We replaced the water
pressure regulator several months ago. Removed it yesterday, tested it and it is
working correctly. Checked under the bed and that big filter has already been
abandoned. Does anybody have any other suggestions? Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

Thank you!

Did you check the inlet screen on your hose or where the shore water connects? Sometimes it get clogged with algae or sediment and will severely restrict water flow.

Now this is strange. Regulator is ok, good pressure in the pump, no line
restrictions I presume? Is there a chance the Sporlan valve is leaking filling
the tank sending water to the coach and the tank simultaneously while on shore
water?

This happen to us while visiting Gettysburg last month.
The Sporlan was bleeding water past the valve into the tank.
Replaced the Sporlan from Stephen and problem fixed!!
