Water Pump confusion - Can somebody clarify?
NEW RVer but fairly well read about RV water systems in class C RVs.
Just taken my 2nd trip camping to 'full hookup' park and am perplexed about something I thought was pretty easy. In an '06 Winnebago class C.
I have always hooked up to city water with good water pressure (and using a regulator) and have no issues with any faucets. I leave my water pump switched OFF naturally. NO WATER in my fresh tank at all.
Q: How come when I switch on my water pump (as an experiment) it runs continuously?
I though the pump would only run when a 'demand' caused it to start? I also thought that the city water pressure would keep the pump from running because of the back pressure?
My first trip it did this for a few tries, let it run a minute, then it stopped doing this as I thought it should. It should NOT run at all when you turn it on if you are hooked to city water correct?
Second trip it, same experiment, different park, it would run continuously. Still an empty fresh tank, no leaks anywhere in the system.
Is this a malfunction?
