Toilet Issue

[kenn209]

Okay, First wanna say I searched the forum under toilet and didn't see anything like the issue we are having.

Seems like there is little to no flushing water when the foot valve is opened. It's pretty much a trickle. All other faucets and shower are good to go. So I looked in the manual and on the Dometic website, and they say to clean the inlet screen on the water valve.

Anyone done this or have any other suggestions?

You could check the water line leading to the commode to see if it has gotten pinched or kinked in the basement or elsewhere... then clean the screen.

I have a 318SAB and had the same problem. There is a valve at the bottom where the water line goes to the commode that I had to replace. the tabs on the valve had broken. It is an easy fix and if you can't find the valve where you are camping you can use a zip tie to keep it in place untill you can replace it. If you need a picture send me a PM.

Hey Kenn
I sent you a private message in response to your question then I remembered something I read when I changed my valve out. Your unit, (toilet valve) is the same as mine. If it ever freezes because of water in the valve body it has a collapsable bladder in the valve body that ruptures and can cause the loss of pressure because it restricts the flow. This allows the outer casing or body of the valve to remain semi intact so not to cause a massive flood if you where not there and you water pressure was still on. You would however have a slow drip from the vent hole in the valve body housing, that's how I knew mine was bad.

Well do I feel stupid! It wasn't the valve! We had low pressure. It was only low at the outside shower and the toilet! I took of the regulator and everything works fine! Well thanks for the help! I that regulator was brand new.
