I guess we should have asked more questions before giving responses. I thought the tank was filing while not being used. Apparently several of us had the same thought.
Anyway, the 'mystery' has been solved.
A pressure regulator may help a little. Lower pressure will result in a little less water going in the grey tank.
Enjoy your travels.
Well, that's the thing. In bed at night, at the back of the RV, I can hear the water cycle on and off. I just figured out how that is. I'm hearing the well pump cycle, with the sound carrying through the water lines.
Maybe I am nuts. But it seems like I'm finding water backing up into the bathtub a lot faster than I used too. But I guess gray water is no biggie. I can dump it on the ground where I am now.
A few thoughts on this thread. If your pump is cycling on and off you either have a faucet open somewhere or you have a leak. I hope it's not the latter.
Your grey could easily fill up in 3 days based on normal usage. This is normal.
These 2 things may not even be related.
I had a similar issue a while ago and figured out I left the shower head switch off but the water on. So not very noticeable and it appeared off, but that little switch on the shower wand is not a full proof valve and was dripping just enough to cycle the water pump and fill my grey quicker than normal. Not saying that's your issue, but a good example of things you need to look for.
