lack of pressure in galley sink

[Todd Turowski]

With fresh water pump on and/or dock water pressure, I am not getting good water pressure to the galley sink. All the other sinks and heads have great pressure. When I turn on the galley sink, the fresh water pump turns on and off repeatedly. All other sinks, the fresh water pump stays on continuously and pressure good. Thoughts?

I am the same way... I took it all apart this weekend and found nothing.... the shower right next to it has awesome pressure....the anchor locker has great pressure...so it’s not a distance thing. So I am curious too

Sounds like the faucet nozzles are plugged. Try soaking it in vinegar for several hours or overnight.

I had similar symptoms and soaking in vinegar worked for me.

Thanks

Those faucets probably have water savers in them

I did try cleaning out the aerator but no luck, will try soaking the hole faucet end in vinegar.

I would say yes, but it worked fine a week ago. I have been cruising in Northern Michigan for the last 4 weeks. I am home now and am going back to the for another couple weeks and will try further.

When it's happened to me, I knew it was the aerator because when you remove it and turn on the faucet there's plenty of pressure.

its possible the restrictor is now clogged

I agree that it is most likely the restricter. There is a right way and wrong way of putting it in after cleaning it and the aerator. One way reduces the flow dramatically. If you remove it and the aerator and have normal flow it has to be how you put it back together. I used to keep a small adjustable wrench in the drawer nearby to keep the faucets cleaned out. Filling the water tank from various sources while cruising seems to introduce crude that ends up in the faucets.

Do you have a pull out faucet?

I had a kink in the hose under the sink on one of my pull outs .... after straightening out all was well.
