[C320-list] Domestic water

[katchu via C320-list]

I've also had water problems when the aerators on the faucets get clogged.  This is most likely when first filling the tanks each Spring and stirring up all the sediment at the bottom of the tanks.  Easy fix to remove and clean the screens.Chuck MuellerNorthwind #676Holland, MISent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

I’ll check that too. Easy to inspect for once requiring no yoga.

Be sure to check the screen on the pump intake. I have found all kinds of
stuff in in the start of the season. The first time I checked it, I found
it packed with plastic shards from the original installation.

Thanks, I did backwash it and it’s flowing fine.

I had a similar issue where the flow of the domestic water from the galley sink started to diminish the completely stopped on the hot side. The problem was a defected water restrictor that had been placed in the line right under the sink. I removed it and did not replace it. No problems since then.

So it looks like BOTH shut off valve at the pressure pump are shot. That why one tank won’t flow at all and makes the total available gallons mush lower than I thought

Assuming you have the standard 15mm red and blue PEX plumbing, these valves are simple Whale fittings.  You could hunt around eBay or other stores and get a pair for under $30 each.Visit the whale site or YouTube if your not familiar with how to connect/disconnect these. Pretty quick fix for sure.Jeff Hare

I tried Amazon 1/2” connectors but those didn’t quite fit. I’ll hunt down those specific to the PEX lines. Yeah easy to pull the little clip. And push the locking piece in to release the line.

Thanks.

Its not official PEX sizes. I made that same mistake a month back. It is proprietary plumbing line from Whale that resembles PEX. You can find fittings and the like on Amazon.
