Do you think gravity feed is important? I've never filled my tank with a bucket or jug, always with a hose. Don't you use a hose?

I am not sure how water from the hose goes in faster if it is hooked to a city water port or a gravity fill one?

This is a case where size does matter. When filling through the city water port it's going through small lines and valves at lower pressure. The gravity fill bypasses the small lines. And if you need to add water while not hooked to city water using the pump, slower still.
