I have a related problem.
I live in a single wide mobile home. I am on a cistern and have had problems with crud clogging the cold water side of the faucet. I have cleared those.
Recently, I had a bunch of crud sucked up and had a clog in the cold water supply line. How do I know? Well, the back door is located about 2/3's of the way back on the house and the water supply comes in right there. The hot water heater is over it. The water is heating just fine and I still have good pressure. The kitchen to the front of the house is flowing fine. The washing machine is right next to the hot water heater and seems to be fine.
Now, the second bathroom is right across the hall. The sink works fine and the toilet fills with water. However, the flow in the tub is very, very limited.
From the washing area, there is a door to the master bedroom. Inside we find the master bath. There we have great hot water flow into the tub. But we have been clogged up on the hot water side of the sink(I have to crawl under and yank the faucet) but now NO flow from the cold water. There is also no flow on the cold water side of the sink or the toilet.
What appears to have happened is I have a clog of foreign matter in the cold supply side from the washing area on. I tried taking off the faucet to the master tub and then turning on the water to force flush the line. Hot water rushed out, nothing came out of the cold water.
So, how do I dislodge something in the cold side? Or do I have to crawl underneath, start cutting underbelly and cutting into poly pipe and trying to fix it??
Any suggestions are appreciated. Feel free to contact me at
