I've got a 2014 C28. I've noticed lately that, while I've got great water flow on the cold side of my fresh water sink facet, when I move to the hot water side, I get very low flow. The same thing occurs in the bathroom. Is there a filter somewhere in the system that is getting clogged? And, if so, where is it? Thanks in advance for any advice that can be provided.

Sincerely,
Jon R
 
I had this same problem. Calcium builds up in the tiny little mesh filters where the faucet connects to the water lines. Disconnect and cleaned and fixed it right up.

Can't remember what thread I saw this on but this may help too:

Low Hot Water Flow. The cold water line feeds the hot water tank. There is a check valve installed at the hot water tank inlet that stops the hot water from flowing back into the cold water line. When only on hot water there is a slightly higher water restriction (check valve). When you move the faucet to mix hot and cold, the restriction is less and the pump runs continuous. When only on cold the flow is not restricted by the check valve. If your screens are fouled there will be added restriction to both cold and hot but hot will be more noticeable. If one faucet is restricted both head and galley will be. The galley seems to get used more so it is usually the worst.
