Fresh Water Tank Filling Up

Hi I have an issue with my fresh water tank. When I have the RV on "flow" the tank still slowly fills with water.
  • I usually use the water pump and tank as well but leave the city water on so i just have to move the switch on the rig to fill the tank again. I have replaced the o-rings on the valve to switch between fill and flow.
  • Either pump internal check valve is leaking allowing city water to backflow thru pump
    OR
    'Fill' valve is leaking thru

    Fill up fresh water tank.....turn off city water source and use pump
    Flow thru pump may clear check valve (diaphragm) of any scale/debris


    After using tank of water with pump....swap back to city water if you wish.

    I always use pump/tank.
    Flooded rig one night while sleeping on city water and fitting broke...$6000
    Since then.....pump/tank and just fill tank as needed
    Easy to turn pump off when sleeping, going outside, leaving cg etc.
