Thanks for all the answers. I started to winterize the water system today and open the low point drains. I didn't even know about these drains until I started reading on this forum. I drained into a bucket and found a bunch of crud, water scales, etc. I then closed up the drains and ran the pump again. The pressure is better, not amazing, but it doesn't drop off after 5 secs of running. There must be more crude in there so next time we use the trailer, I am going to run city water with the low points drain open and see if more stuff gets flushed. Oregon gets a few night of freezing and warm up again so I am not using antifreeze yet, just draining and blowing water out with compressed air.
