I have one of these on my 14 year old motor home, my water flow has dropped to almost nothing when hooked up to city water. could unit be the problem?

Honestly, I am not sure. Possible cause could be build up of calcium, lime, etc. but that may have effected the regulator. It's a cheap fix so might be worth it to try. It's an easy switch.

Yes, the pressure regulator is probably gone bad. You don't need to replace the whole thing, just the pressure regulator. I would remove it first just make sure that is the problem.

Hello, mine is to recent to have problems. I purchased a pressure reducer from Lowes for about $10.00 just to make sure I do not blow my system. The problem that you may have is a tartar build up. Either you can remove the unit and soak it in white vinegar or depending on your interior hook up you can create a continuous loop that will go to your furthest faucet. To do that use a bucket a small pump, 12v will be fine and pour the vinegar into the bucket pump it through the system and bring it back to the bucket. This way you can check every faucets at your pleasure with out dismantling anything. I have a Diesel engine en my boat and do the same thing to "polish" carburant (just go through the filters and no vinegar of course). It may appear complex but once you acquire the equipment everything can be stored in the bucket. If it is easy to do it will be done more often. Enjoy your endeavor, Good Luck, Francis.

Hi Rachel, Without knowing how old the machine is--two things could be wrong--the water pump may be defective--not getting the water out of the reservoir. You may also check the tubing it may be blocked. If it is still within warranty I would ask for new one.

I am in the process of installing the unit in my outdoor shower....in researching the unit I purchased it with the assurance that the ignition was related to water flow.....check that fact out, I believe you will be satisfied if you work within the unit's capacity..

Clean it out completely and check cords. Also make sure there is water in it, If not it may slow down or stop without it. Mine did that, but after I cleaned it and filled it back up, it was up and running. I think it's because the water was too low. That makes sense to me.

You might have had a rubber ring fall off and in the way of the the cold intake. Shut your water off and take the part out and see if any rubber rings fell off

There are specific water flow requirements for these units. Check to see that your system meets these Also check screen filter to be sure it is clear.

read the instruction manual. there will be a section on this. i believe there's a "cap" that needs to be removed first. but it's likely you do not have the drain hose LOWER than the unit so it cannot flow correctly.

I am having the same problem with mine. My friend tested it and found it works okay at some water pressures but not others.

Depending on the installation, there is a filter between the tank and the water supply. The instructions note that you should check this filter if you have diminished flow.

i had the same problem with mine. about 6-7 months later the water delivery started to drop. i changed the filter but it did not increase. my next conclusion was a blockage of some sort. i happen to have a oil changer for my cars that works on suction. i pulled the fridge out shut off water supply removed the filter and put in the plug that came with the fridge. then i hooked up the inlet to the fridge to the oil changer. pumped it up and the pressed the water dispenser bar in front of the fridge. it sucked out some dirt and some kind of thick little globs of who knows what. put it all back together and the water flowed like it was day one. here it is 8 months later and i see i need to blow it out again. also fyi, you do not have to use the ge filters. a company called swift green filters makes one that fits. model sgf-g9 i found it for about 18.00 it is rated the same as the ge but for less money. as for the oil changer it is a mightyvac mv7400. it was about 50.00 but worth it because we have 3 cars and at 30.00 a pop for an oil change it was worth buying and it doubles for the suction for the fridge. hope this helps you.

Not sure of the flow rate maybe their site can tell you that specific info. I have a pressure gauge on my line and tested before and after installation, and there was no drop in pressure or flow. I have city water and I replace mine every three months. With that schedule there is never a flow issue

there is a plastic insert in the hose which regulates the flow of the water . maybe it has something blocking the flow . take that plastic insert out . maybe that might fix your problem

If you have the water discharge connect to a external pipe, then the connection was loose. This will be the best guess from me.

You may have to replace it. My with just one push, locks it in or releases the reserved water.

I own this and have found to fix must replace the whole unit.... This summer2014 will be our second replacement in two years. It was suggested to me to bypass thus pump and draw water thru. But use a sand filter... Might try that instead

Never saw anything in the manual concerning your issue, I would assume as long as the water is heating and the steam is working it could be just a blip in the wiring. I've had my steamer for about two years and haven't had a problem. You didn't say how old your steamer is.

Most likely the lines running to your kitchen and bath sink are partially clogged with build up. That causes a water flow rate too low to trip the Titan water heater on. Most likely new water lines need to be run there. Good luck
