Water Sputtering After Tank Fill - New (Edited) Information

tabtrek

2016 S-Max. I have just filled the water tank after winter storage (with the trailer heat on - though I had drained the water system anyway). Now water sputters when faucets are turned on. BOTH the hot AND the cold. Kept doing it for at least a half-hour before I gave up. The hot water boiler IS ON. The hot water sputtering is accompanied by quite low flow. Cold water faucets seem to be flowing at a mostly normal rate between sputterings. All the valves next to the Alde are in the correct position and aT@B tech yesterday said everything looked okay to fill up the water tank for our planned Sunday trip.  WHEN I HOOK THE WATER SYSTEM UP TO AN EXTERNAL SOURCE THE HOT AND COLD WATER IN THE T@B WORK GREAT - WITH NO SPUTTERING!   Any ideas how to fix this? The campground does not have water hookup so we need to use water from our tank.

It sometimes just takes a little time to get all of the air out of the system when dewinterizing.

Thanks. No doubt it does take time, but I would think it is highly unlikely it would take a half hour. The sputtering continues to be major!

Check the filter/tap on the water pump and also the spout of the faucet. Little clogs make a huge difference

Tabtrek, check all connections before and after the water pump.  It sounds like you may be pulling air into your lines somehow.
