- evanvalkExplorerI've solved that humming just by turning down the city water valve, just a little bit will do it. but that may be just one of many solutions.
- fla-gypsyExplorerBad check valve
- sdianel_-acct_cExplorerYep. Check valve. We replaced ours and guess what? The new one was bad too. Had to replace it again! Now no humming.
- Old-BiscuitExplorer IIICity water inlet connection has an internal check valve....when they are failing they will start humming. Replace.
And could be water pressure regulator......crud built up on valve/seat area.
If yours is rebuildable just disassemble and clean out internals. Otherwise...replace.
Also can get a humming sound from water heater outlet (check valve) when it is failing. Replace
ON EDIT:
Noticed you have 'Yuma' listed as location.
Very hard water....you have crud built up
If you are going to be in Yuma area much (or Southwest US) might want to invest in a portable water softener......several brands (On-The-Go, FloPur, Water Stick)
They will stop that build up...check valves, faucets, toilet water valve, Water Heater etc. - 2gypsies1Explorer IIII would guess it's your water pump left on.
- westendExplorerHarmonic sound from restricting the flow of water, you may want to either increase the pressure at the regulator or decrease it just a bit (if you have an adjustable regulator).
- zigzagrvExplorerCould be your water pump. Should be turned off when hooked up to park water.
- camperpaulExplorerIt could be humming because it doesn't know the words. :D
- 2oldmanExplorer IIMore than likely the city water input valve (on the coach) is shot. Best to replace it. Get one at any RV store.
