Fresh Water Pump

I am having an issue with the freshwater going to the galley sink. I have a new water pump and the flow of water to the galley is extremly light. The flow going to the head is great.

Any suggestions on what to look for to fix this?

Assuming the pump is fine, I would first follow the hose from the pump to the galley sink to make sure that the hose isn't crimped along the way. Sometimes as they weave around cabinetry, etc, the hose will bend causing a crimp. If not that, I'd have to say check the faucet. That's all I can think of.:confused:

I had the same problem a few years ago. I unscrewed the screen type filter off the end of the water spot and found a bunch of bad stuff. I ran the water without the screen and found the water flowed freely. I cleaned off the screen and put it back on and the water flowed good. Now when I see the water flow slowing down, I take the screen off, clean it and life is good again.

I found a pin hole leak at the neopreme "T" fitting going to the sink
