Apex water pump
Apex TT. Hooked up at campground. Shortly after water was leaking out of the fresh water fill connection. Is there a bypass or diaphragm in the water pump allowing city connected water to fill fresh water tank? THANKS

There is a check valve in the city connector. If there is a screen on it remove it and use a screw driver or similar to gently push it in to release.

The pump itself acts as the check valve. Is your fill a gravity fill or a hose connection to fill the tank.

Ok the pump should be acting as the check valve. If it is dribbling out might be a bit of grit. Try disconnecting the city water, let the pump push water through the lines and see if it clears the leak. If not might need a check on the pump by taking the diaphragm off to see if it is faulty. Is this the first use of the trailer or just a new problem.

All my sinks have good pressure except my bathroom sink. It's very low. I'm connected to city water.

Did you remove the faucet aerator and look for debris?
Sometimes the individual faucet cartridges get debris in them as well. I've even seen plastic shavings where the water lines attach to the faucet. You'll need to disassemble the faucet and inspect.

You can just unscrew the aerator and check it. You won't get any water flow as long as the tap is turned off.
