Water pressure at sink tap (1 Viewer)

[steveveets]

Hi everyone hope someone can shed light on a problem we have discovered on our new to us 2014 T620g Travel Van. The water pressure at the sink tap starts off very strong but drops off to nothing after about 30 seconds of being opened, we have a half full fresh water tank, on ehu, 12v on and pump switch on. The shower room tap seems to work reasonably well.
Any suggestions as to why we are experiencing this?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers
Steve and Jacqui

Sounds like a problem with the microswitch or wiring in the tap.
With the kitchen tap open open one of the other taps shower or washbasin a just enough to make the pump run. If water at the kitchen tap flows ok that's proved it.

The info under you avatar still says you have an Autosleeper.

Lennys idea first and then check filter next to pump and see if the very tip of your tap can unscrew as some have a strainer on them.

Yes we had exactly this and it was the filter in the tap.

Thank you Jev88 and chaser, I think it's the microswitch as listening carefully I can hear the pump running when the shower and shower room tap are opened but not the sink tap. Back to the dealers it is

Hi Lenny - can't find where I change my "About" info, I can see how to change the avatar picture though, what am I missing??
