Water fixture

. When taking my 2008 rear bath out of storage and sanitizing the water system, the hot water side of the bathroom sink fixture has very poor flow. Cold water side works fine. Airrater screen removed, no change. Any ideas? All other parts of water system working well.

You might want to check the inlet and outlet check valves on your water heater for blockage or a partly closed valve. Please post when you find the solution; thanks.

The bathroom sink faucet that came with my 08 MB had strainers on the water infeeds that would gather calcium and impede hot water flow. To clear them, I had to remove the faucet and using a dental probe, clear the strainers. The symptom I had was low flow, only hot, only at the bathroom sink. That having been said, removing the faucet is a royal PITA. Before you go to that effort, check the cartridge. That is fairly easy. Any debris in the cartridge could cause uneven flow rates.

Another way to keep calcium out of your water lines is to use a water softening system along with the regular whole-house filter. This is something of an effort to set up, to my way of thinking, but if you are not a heavy user of water, i.e. fill your tank only weekly or even less often, then the hour or so that it takes to slowly run your tank water through the softener can be accomplished whilst you sit under your awning and observe nature - or read a book, or whatever. Just set a timer so that you dont come back to find water gushing out all over the side of your Lazy Daze. Not a good plan to try to do this at a busy dump/fresh water fill station.

Even if you like to boondock most of the time, a days stay in a regulation campground with full hookups (or even just water and electrical service) can provide a week or more of time (depending on your personal usage rate) for you to be independent of services in complete comfort.

Most campgrounds will let you use their dump/fill facilities for a fee without staying overnight, but the incremental increase in cost to stay the night is probably well worth it. You can stop early in the day - do some bulk cooking/freezing, clean and refill your tanks, charge up any auxiliary batteries, dump your garbage, take a nice hot shower, use their WiFi, if available - and then hit the road again! If you like the surroundings, a two-day stay can be restorative, and allow for some limited sightseeing of the area.

Problem solved, removed cartridge, did not seem to be blocked. Water was not coming out of the hot water supply hole, put vinegar down supply line with syringe and let soak for a while. When water pump restarted initial sputtering from hot wAter line then flow became normal. Fixture then reassembled and works fine.
