No water pressure from fresh water tank.

[Rod R]

New Salem Hemisphere 290 RL fifth wheel. 2/3 fill of fresh water tank and no pressure at any faucet. Dribbles from bathroom sink. pump seems to be running. Any suggestions?

[NJKris]

Make sure anti-freeze suction port is completely closed. Low point drains closed. Pump strainer is not clogged. And of course, pump power switch is on.

Might also gander at the lines to make sure none are bent enough to crimp and minimize flow.

Also remove the faucet aerators. On new rigs, construction debris often clogs faucets.

I'll second what Dan said. On every new rig I've had, I have had to flush the lines/faucets and had a ton of "stuff" come out

When you flush the debris from the lines have a small bucket under the faucet to catch not just the water but the debris itself.


The chunks can get caught in your Holding Tank Drain valves and cause problems with them leaking too.


We used to do this every time we had a new home installation and we connected up the water. We were VERY careful during installation and STILL debris got into those lines.

I just recently bought a 21 fbrs. Where is the anti freeze valve located. Went out for three days and pump never caught prime. fw tank was full. Only pressure I had was from the campsite, which was minimal.

Mine is halfway along hose from fresh water tank to where the hose enters floor of RV. I'm guessing they are all possibly different, but it only makes sense it is somewhere between fresh tank and pump.
