To borrow from an old joke (which I won't tell here), "frayed knot." I didn't bother trying to disassemble the waterfall faucet - just replaced it outright. I think I linked it previously, but here's what we used (matched the style in the rest of the rig the best):

I can tell you that, almost three years of full-time use later, it's still working well.

This is my problem but what o-ring on the waterfall faucet? Mine spit and then basically stopped flowing. I have taken apart the top but you can’t get inside the waterfall part. It barely trickles any water. Good pressure is confirmed in the water line up to the faucet. It seems totally blocked but?? It is the first use of this faucet. Anybody?

This is most likely “construction debris” in the water line blocking the flow to the faucet. This is not an uncommon problem in a new trailer. If you want to keep the original fixture, remove it and blow it out with compressed air backwards and forwards. You may not even need any tools . . . often all connections are hand tightened. As mentioned earlier in this thread, there are many better quality faucets that will be a direct replacement, from any Home Depot or similar.

Thanks. No debris was in the lines. It seems to have blockage just inside where the water comes out on the faucet itself. You can’t even access it taking it apart. This is a really poor design faucet to go on a mostly amazing 5th wheel.
Thanks for the help! Bill

Since your trailer is still under warranty, if you contact Grand Design Customer Service and explain the issue and what you have done already to try and solve the problem . . . they might send you a new faucet assembly.

I already did that and a new one is on the way. When I asked if the one being sent would be a different/better design then I was told they replace with the exact one they come with new. Makes no sense to me when an obvious poor design leads to issues for many customers. I’ll try the new one and if it is a bad experience then I’ll just buy something else.

Last season we had a decent flow. This season - a dribble. No problem with the kitchen faucet - just bathroom waterfall, err waterdrip. Just started a long trip - no box stores anywhere (no grocery stores either) and my experience with plumbing means replacing more than I intended too. There must be a clogged flow restrictor in it but I can't see where unless it is inside the faucet itself.

Have you tried to remove the faucet and bench test it? Able to visually check inlets and any screens. Able to connect to a higher pressure water source. Able to blow out with compressed air. I suspect it may be hard water build up and you may need to soak the faucet in a lime desolver.

On the road in a place with no hardware or box stores anywhere close. I don't want to break anything without being able to source a replacement or parts - so staying with low flow for now. I suspect calcium deposits as my two Renator gauges were plugged up also. It's an unbranded waterfall faucet and have no clue how to take it apart - looking for source documentation but there are no brand markings.
