new water pump - now water filling tank??
Just put in a shurflow 4800. Now when I took up to city water, my tank fills and overflows and I get no water pressure. The pump works great, super quiet, and great flow when I'm not on city water...

Thanks PLANNING. Parts on order. Looks like an easy fix and bad check valve makes sense.
If you've got a NEW pump that's backflowing, why wouldn't you warrant it for another one, that works correctly, instead of bandaiding the defective one? :h

Because the Shurflo check valve is an historical single-point-of-failure, and a dedicated check valve is a more positive remedy not requiring repetitive repair.
No matter. A new, and properly functioning pump is what was paid for and what should be delivered. If it fails later, then install the other valve.
