Low water pressure
Just sanitized my water lines in my 2013 jay flight swift 267bhs. I notched with the water pressure is low out if the kichen sink. All pressures out of the bathroom, shower are all good. Any ideas are appreciated.

If it's both hot and cold pressure, it could be the strainer / aerator

What is the strainer/aerator and where would I find this? Connected water for the 1st time today and thought the pressure was kinda low.

The aerator is at the end of the faucet. Typically they screw in and out for cleaning / replacing

I second the aerator, I had a particular brand of winterizer that clogged all my aerators. I soaked them in some CLR and all was good.

.
Being both hot and cold from the same area and not impacting other areas, I too think its the aerator. As plan A, remove and soak in CLR ( https://skyrisefoods.com/store/pc/ca...pplies/CLR.jpg ). If that doesn't work, replace plugged item - from parts available at most local hardware stores. Note: Take removed item to local hardware to match it. Not all aerators are made the same.
Hope this helps.

While you have the aerator off, connect city water or run the pump to flush out the line in the kitchen. This will wash out any debris that may be in the pipe restricting flow.
Hope you can fix it easily.

I agree with the other posters as it being the aerator. My kitchen facuet was water stream was low and coming out at an odd angle. I removed the aerator and it had little pieces of plastic in it. The trailer is realitivity new and I think it was some junk left in the lines during installation.

Thanks... then maybe its no the aerator for me because it the entire trailer seems like low water pressure.

Is it low water pressure with both the city water and when using the fresh water tanks or just one? Have you tried blowing compresssed air (25 psi or less) through the city water line connection to see if there may be a larger piece of something lodge in a main line before it branches off to the all the water faucets? Just a thought.

I have not tested the fresh water tank and pump yet, just the city water. Tested this out at home where the pressure is normally fine. I did not blow air through the city lines, but this is how my dealer tests the lines when they get them and they leave the lines full with air when you pick up the TT. I will try out the water pump this week, completely forgot to do so.
