Hard water

If our coach sets for any length of time our toilet will generally not flush and kitchen sink the flow is very restricted. I have been told there are better toilets that won’t be effected by the water and am thinking about changing the kitchen sink. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Where do you live and is the water where you fill up very hard water?
Maybe you should not leave water sit in your system a long time if its that hard and should drain the system after you camp.

Before you consider what is better have you cleaned the strainers in the water toilet water valve for being clogged? (SEE PIC)
A better toilet will not stop you hard water nor stop clogged filters.

Have you cleaned your sinks water faucet strainer?

Thanks for the picture. Not sure how to drain the system though. I don’t carry any water in the tank and are always hooked up to water. I have to take my toilet off to change out the valve or get to it. As is the case on most MH’s the space is tight. Are you going to the FROG rally in August

Thanks. My valve looks exactly like that. I was told by the dealer to take the toilet loose making it easier to get in there. I have a replacement valve since the dealer put in a new one under warranty. You going to the Frog Rally in August?

Hard water

Ya that thing is a bear to get at. At least in my 369xl. No space to get in there unless toilet is removed. Replaced mine in both toilets. Anode rod break down totally clogged both as well as faucets. Faucets were easy, just unscrewed filters and replaced with new ones.
