Thank you .Yes I have already taken them off and my hope was that that was what was causing the slow delivery but it didn't help.

HW Tank uses a check that can be stuck shut, but should give good flow on cold regardless. Most likely is crimped/ pinched common line or a valve/ valve position? Less likely, but Also possible a slug of green algae formed in tank and broke loose, clogging at some point? Symptom more points to a PUMP ONLY piping, so COLD water LINE between PUMP and CITY connection and between PUMP and HW Tank?? Or a HIDDEN WATER FILTER IN MAIN COLD WATER LINE for Tank water?

Most rv waterpumps have check built-in.

Yes that is the case with mine and it works fine but I don't think it is pumping properly

I had a similar issue and had a clogged water filter. The pump did not build enough pressure to overcome the clogged filter but the city water supply did. It’s worth checking. Good luck.

You've had some pretty good comments here but I have a question or two.
You say the pump works perfectly. Does it pump up to pressure and shut off?
Do you get any flow to anything anywhere when the pump is on line and city water is off? Did you possibly blow up your charcoal filter by winterizing with air and not removing the filters.
If the answer to both is yes then I'd suggest this.
Most of the rv faucets today come with an orifice for the faucet to help us conserve water. These holes are very small and can easily become plugged with small debris. It's happened to me. If you haven't done major valve lineup changes where you may have left some valves in the wrong position I would consider checking to see if you have blockage at the faucets. Also if someone else winterized your rig they may have shut some valves someplace.

This may be way off base, but I had this exact problem two weeks ago. On my Winnebago Brave there’s a diverter valve labeled “city fill/ tank fill”. Turns out I had left the valve on the tank fill setting after filling the tank. Full tank of water, pump ran continuously and no water to faucets. Turned the valve back to city fill and everything worked fine. I was NOT hooked up to city water, but the valve still needed to be on city fill to pump water out of the fresh water tank.

I think I mentioned that it does not shut off
I do get a small amount of flow with pump yes
The orifice has been removed
Have ruled out blockage at faucets because all is well on city water
I have only had the unit for a month so yes someone else winterized it last.
Will check your suggestions

Is 50 psi considered maximum safe pressure in RVs? I am new to my Class A and have a pressure regulator at all sites now due to warnings of high pressure at certain campgrounds. I set mine to 60 and noticed for the first time EVER that my pump doesn't make loud sounds every time I turn on water. Want to make sure I'm not risking damage to my lines. Help!!!

On my Winnebago it's in the wet bay were I hook up to city water. It’s a lever that makes a 90 degree turn from city fill to tank fill. I’ll get out to the RV in the morning and take a photo. Other RV's I’ve looked at have similar valves and they’re always close to the city water connection.
