  • A kitchen faucet like the Empire Faucets RV Kitchen Faucet w/ Pull-Down Spout # EM47UR uses a standard flow aerator.

I would start by making sure you aerator is not clogging up. If the aerator is clear, then replacing your faucet would be a good direction to go.

  • Flow Max Faucet is Leaking From the Handle Area
  • The only way to fix that kind of leak is by replacing the Flow Max RV Kitchen Faucet # LC719323. I actually just went through this same scenario at my place and the plumber had to replace the entire faucet because it is something that is internal. Since there are no spare parts for this faucet, replacement of the entire unit is the only option.

  • Would RV Faucet Cause Lower Water Pressure
  • It's probably not the faucet that's caused the water pressure drop and is instead the water pump either going bad or not having enough power to create the pressure needed. If the battery on the trailer is charged it would be time for a new water pump like the HydroMax part # P25201.
