Re: City water pressure
Most likely the inlet has a check valve / Water pressure reducer either in it or directly behind it. This type is common and they are build in. (https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-6rtev5owwo/images/stencil/1280x1280/products/235007/125853/183-029-18__20928.1581002960.jpg?c=2) They can get stuck or damaged from freeze if there is still water sitting in them.
I also know someone who installed a water filter directly behind their inlet. It froze and split wide open... I assume you don't hear water or bilge alarms?

I had a Shurflo brand from the factory so I swapped it out for the same unit. Pressure was once again inadequate, same as before. Threw out an $80 new part and replaced with outboard regulator and non regulated inlet, problem solved. My best guess it the pressure I got out of the Shurflo unit was less than 35psi on a good day. https://www.westmarine.com/buy/shurflo- ... et--183725
Bought a stainless steel regulator thinking go with the best. Plugged it into the hose at the dock and nothing came out but a small trickle. They sure do not make things like they used to!
