[C320-list] Domestic water stopped coming out of faucets

[John Meyers]

Elan,

Can you blow water back toward the aft tank? Turn off the pump, open that
valve to the aft tank. In the head, take off the shower head from the line,
open that faucet with all the others closed and blow in the head faucet
water line. This should indicate a clog or something.
