Water pressure

2016 RSTS28.5
Two weeks ago took it out and no problem with water pressure using pump.

Took it out last week and pressure is very low. Water flows but slowly and then the pump takes longer than usual to pressurize the system. Switched to city water valve and plenty of pressure. Did need to replace some of the original water line going to the outdoor shower (which we never use) and went with clear tubing and hose clamps since I don't have the correct tool for replacing original tools.

Any ideas on why the sudden loss of adequate pressure?

Is the pressure low across all fixtures? Did you check the screen filter on the inlet side of your pump for debris?

Did you check other places for any leaks? I had one at the fitting to the pump. That might explain the longer time to pressurize.
