Weird water problem...

[imnprsd]

Does your bathroom sink have 1 valve or 2 valves? ...And how would describe water flow for both H and C?

Water flow: I think your shower valve is the first stop and then it branches out to your bathroom sink in one direction and the kitchen sink in the other direction. However, I'm not sure. I read this somewhere and I have not confirmed this? That said, if you shower valve is not working right or funny, that might be an indication of a a bad shower valve.

If you need to replace your bath faucet, FYI, I upgraded my 2 handle bath sink to a single valve with a high water spout. I like it much better. You just need a couple of 3/8" rubber-donuts for the water lines... or you might be able to re-use your old ones. (TBD)

Did find a small amount of green plant material in the kitchen faucet, and just now, a big wad of green stuff in the shore water hose behind the quick coupler. So the blockage definitely came from an RV park, just not sure which one.

Difficult to figure out how to clean the toilet without removing it completely. All the little jets under the rim were spewing out flakes of black crud after blowing out the lines and turning the water back on. Seems to have full flow though. Fingers crossed on that.

Ordered a new pressure accumulator as my old one won't hold 20 psi.

In 16 years of full time traveling around the country, up to Alaska, and down to Mexico from RV park to RV park, I think this is only the 2nd or 3rd time I've gotten plugged like this, so I forget between occurrences. Most likely came from the park in Mexico as it's not unusual to see some kind of green weed growing in their pipes.

I always turn on the water for 4-5 seconds whenever connecting to shore water before I connect so this showed up even after doing that.

Anyway, thanks for the help!

Scary.

Glad you found your issue. May I suggest a replaceable filter?
The clear type will show you the condition of the filter element at any time.

Maybe time for a new shore water hose?

I'm looking into those now...but there's a bewildering array of types, do you have a favorite?

I just bought a replacement hose not long ago. Less then 6 months ago. Due to age of the hose.

You need both a water filter and a softener.
