Kitchen Water Pressure???

Does anyone have low water pressure at the kitchen sink and great pressure in bathroom and shower? I have taken it apart and there is nothing in the screens and water diffuser....any other ideas?

Is it the same with the Hot as well as the Cold side? Knowing the year and model you have might help us.

Did you try running the water w/o the diffuser for a few seconds in case there is an obstruction?

I have lower pressure on the kitchen cold. The kitchen hot, and bathroom(h&c) are great. Only thing I can think is causing the lower pressure is the in-line water filter on the kitchen cold. Trailer is '09 32BHDS.

Yes, I have tried with and without diffuser. Same pressure on hot or cold or together. Bathroom and shower are both real good. The unit is a 2014 19RD, does it have a water filteration system that I'm not aware of? Thanks.

you may try to run your hand over the copper pipe from the fawcett under the sink they may have kinked the pipe when it was installed.

Mine has a factory inline water filter under the sink. Easy to bypass with the provided hose.

Had this same thing happen to our kitchen faucet as well. It ended up being a plastic shaving of the pex tubing stuck in the tube. I only found it after I took the tubing off under the faucet. I just pushed it out with a straight piece of wire.

Can't see a water filter, but I'll take a better look once Home. Line is not pinched. I'll check for something in the line....if not that, then off to dealer for the warranty work. Thx for the replies. Also, something random on the first trip out I noticed two speakers above master bed were not working, they were wired, but never wired to the actually radio; figured it out after removing the radio. Overall quality for the most part seems very good, but time to get the 16 yr. olds out of the Jayco factory.

In reference to the 16 year olds at the Jayco factory, the problem is basic QA lacing and management. I found numerous obvious poor assembly problems with my Jayco. For whatever reason, its seems that speed is the only requirement to work at Jayco. And, it doesn't matter if it's an entry level model or top of the line. In reality, maybe a 16 year old may do a better job.

I think Kuzbro hit it. Not only do the bean counters track every piece of material, but also labor. Everyone on a production line is required to keep up, regardless. The worker who regularly halts the line to fix a minor issue just isn't going to last long. Also, they are required to produce X number of units a day, so it's easier to let the dealers correct warranty issues and make production quotas. That is why all of my repairs and mods except one have been done by me. I put out a better quality job that the dealers and certainly better than the factory. Thats just a way of life in a production facility.

You're right the 16 yr. old remark was a joke, just simply implying that some little things have slipped through the cracks but they are usually minor enough that the dealer or owner should easily be able to fix them. Thanks. Still hoping to figure out this low pressure at the sink. If it was my water regulator the entire rig would have low pressure, correct?

Kitchen Water Pressure???

My money if you don't have a kitchen inline filter Is some construction debris. May take some troubleshooting or back flushing to clear it.
Good luck and keep us posted. I love a challenge.

If you have checked everything it can only be in the fawcett,common to both hot and cold.

Think I've found the problem. There is a little valve where the hose attaches to the handle on the faucet. Unscrewed it and it was packed with plastic pipe shavings and and wood. Figured it was debris, just couldn't see where. I have not reattached it yet to test, but I don't see how any water was getting through. Thanks for the help, I'll report back tomorrow after I can test it.
