water leaking into fresh water hold tank.....

I have water leaking into the fresh water hold tank when I'm hooked up to city water....I have a 2001 Monaco Windsor....There is a vale to switch from (tank to city water)that is in the city water position when the water is going into the fresh hold tank....
I'm guessing that valve needs replaced?(it's a crimped line on that valve) Could the water be coming from anywhere than that valve?Like back washing in from somewhere?
Can build up or calcium deposits ect ect get in there.....The valve doesn't used that much so I'm guessing build up is letting water through at the valve...Any thoughts would be welcomed,Tom

    Very common. That's where I would start.

    Replacing a water pump is easy. But if you want to save yourself some money, you can take the water pump apart and see if something is caught in there. I've worked on pumps for people and have had good results by cleaning grit/sand from inside the pump.

    Good luck.
  • You probably have a bad water pump. When the diaphragm goes bad, it will leak into the fresh water tank. Been there, done that with a Shurflo Extreme 4.0 water pump.
