N2M TT ??

I picked up the Keystone Hideout Friday afternoon, but due to travel plans just started checking it out tonight.

Turning on the pump inside causes water to run out of the city water inlet outside. Which does not have a cap on it. Problem, or just need to get a cap?

    a great idea. puts less pressure on the fitting.

    With pump off remove washer/screen on city water inlet.
    n the center of inlet is the tip of a small plunger (internal check valve to stop water from flowing out)
    Push it in and then let it go---it MAY reset it
    Turn pump n and check.

    If it still leaks......you can cap it off with a 3/4" PVC plug, install a garden hose shut-off valve OR replace the city water assembly.
