Whoops. Missed that detail.

If you really have hot water at the sink and cold water at the shower and toilet I think what I'd do is take the cold water faucet apart, like you were going to replace the washer.  With that done, turn on the pump for an instant and see if water spurts out.  That might clear any obstruction.

First check the aerator on the faucet (unscrew it right at the tip). Ours clogged up the first time we used our R-pod. There are at least 2 screens in there that will clog with tiny stuff.

If it works at all other faucets (check outside shower?) I would guess the faucet valve itself failed. Could disconnect hose on bottom and see if it flows.

All:

Need some help here.

Went to fill up and sanitize the water system, and now the cold water at the kitchen faucet won't run.  Pump is on, hot flows just fine (activates pump), cold flows in shower/bathroom sink (hot too, with pump activating).  Turn on cold at kitchen and just a dribble, with no pump activation.

Tank nearly full, tried city hookup to no avail either.  Don't see a kink in hose leading from junction where cold splits off to bathroom.

Thoughts?  Thanks!
