C320 Water Pressure

[Steve]

To All,I've recently purchased a 2000 C320. Last weekend I filled the water tanks with water and a little bleach to sterilize them. This weekend I went to the boat to flush the tanks. Unfortunatelty, the water pressure at both the galley sink and head sink are very low. Certainly not enough to shower with. the pump seems to be working okay, but the pressure is low. Any Suggestions?Thanks,Steve

Try this

I have the problem all the time with my 36. Try unscrewing the aireator (sp?) - the thing at the end of the faucet. It gets clogged up with plastic particles, grunge, etc, and really inhibits the water flow. Hope this helps.

Greg is right

The bleach you put in your tank kills & loosens all that nasty algae that grows in the water lines & tank. Where does all that loosened debris go? It clogs up your pump & strainers. go & buy an in-line strainer and install in an area prior to the pump (preferrably in an accessable area). most of these have clear housings & you can see all the fun green stuff collect on the filter. clean filter as needed.
