Bathroom Sink Faucet

MarkoPolo · 06-07-2015, 08:34 PM

Our first trip this year. The bathroom faucet has little or no water when opened...both hot and cold sides. All other faucets work normally. Trailer was winterized as usual. I am puzzeled as to what is going on here.
Pinched hoses? Freeze damage? Can't really do much here, but would like some help in knowing where to start.
Hope for an easy fix, but that and Trailmanor don't seem to go together.

I had this happen on my kitchen sink. On it I pulled the cartridges (use caution and put the strained in the drain as you may find a small spring and a small rubber gasket). I then held a cup over the outlet and had my DW turn on the city water for a bit to flush out all sediment. Put it back together and tested it, problem solved!
Not sure the bathroom sink is similar, but it may be worth a try. And you guessed it, as Bill helped me originally with this 'easy fix'!

Mark,

Mine did that & all I had to do was clean the aerator... May not be your problem, but for me it was "EASY-PEASY".

+3. When ever it's happened to us. I think we mixed up the junk hanging around in the bottom of the water heater and open the faucets to early.

One way to avoid clogging the faucets is to flush the sediment out of the system. When you hook up to the city water supply, have all the inside faucets closed and the pressurized water drain valves open. Turn on the city water. The front pressurized water drain will spit water first, let it flush for several seconds and then turn it off. The rear pressurized cold water drain will spit next, let it flush for a few seconds and then turn it off. Let the hot water tank fill and vent through the rear pressurized hot water drain. After it flows with a steady stream of water, let it flush for a few seconds and then turn it off. All sediment should be carried out of the system through the drain valves and away from the faucets. Now go inside, momentarily open each faucet to get the remaining air out of the system.
