Toilet sprayer

My toilet sprayer started dribbling when I would flush so I bought a new one from Camping World. After a couple of months it started dribbling. Last June at the rally a SOITC friend gave me a new one he had and now it has started dribbling. Has anone else had this problem?

Is it dribbling because of low water pressure or mineral build-up in the sprayer?

We're still on our original one after 3 yrs. But around the holes, it will get crusty from minerals. I flake them off with my fingernails or an old toothbrush. But have heard white vinegar and a brush will dissolve minerals. (1 part water, 1 part vinegar)

Have you gone to Home Depot or Lowe's to look at their generic sprayer heads? For the price Dometic wanted for one, you can buy 3 or more.

Ours has done that off and on. The solution seems to be in how you stop spraying. I leave the water at full pressure on the foot pedal then just slide my finger off of the spray trigger so it snaps back. Easing it off normally just seems to let it fail to seat the valve.

Just seems to work for me. In the mean time I have a regular spray head and hose from a hardware store kitchen sink replacement selection. Instead of being all plastic it's partially made of metal.

I havent noticed any buildup on the outside and we dont have low water pressure. But, we have been full time at our base camp for about 3 years and were on well water. about a year & a half ago I started hauling water from a nearby town and that about when the problem started. I may go with the generic sprayer and see what happens.
Mike, I told the DW to try letting it snap shup and we'll see how that goes.
