<p>Chris that’s good news. The debris could have been from the tank when they cut opening for the hose fittings. Glad to hear you have it fixed. <br/>Mike</p>

<p>Great News!</p>
<p>I found the problem.</p>
<p>Turns out that when disconnecting and inspecting the fresh water check valve I found just enough debris (black thin plastic tape like material) to slow down the flow!</p>
<p>Cleaned it out and the water pressure is back to normal.</p>
<p>Thanks for all your helpful suggestions</p>

<p>Chris, I’d troubleshoot both sides of the system both suction and discharge. Doing so may require rigging some jumpers around specific components of the system. Start with the discharge side disconnecting the output from the pump. Use a jumper hose to direct the water into a bucket or the bilge whichever is easiest to clean up. If the water flows properly then move downstream. If it does not then work upstream. Continue to do so until you find the cause of the problem. Good luck and keep us…</p>

<p>Roger that. I have encountered what I perceived to be reduced pressure in my galley faucet and head lav faucets before where it turned out to be debris buildup at the faucet strainer. Doesn’t sound like that’s your problem. </p>

<p>Hi Mike:<br/><br/>The problem continued after I installed a new pump, thinking the old pump was the problem.</p>
