water connection problem

When I am connected to city water, I get water going into my fresh water tank. I know because the water is dripping from the release valve at the bottom of the tank. I know the valve needs to be replaced BUT WHY IS WATER GOING INTO THE TANK?

    If you know something is defective and needs replaced, why would you question the effects of the device being defective. It's like saying "I know that cigarets are bad for me, but why do I keep caughing?"


    Fixing the dripping valve on fresh water tank with correct that problem but it's has nothing to do with why OP's tank is filling when using city water connection.
    That is the other issue OP has. Link has suggestion to fix that problem.

    Leaking pump check valve or fill valve..depends on which way you fill tank
  • Welcome to the forum. As a suggestion, you need to edit your profile to indicate what coach you have. You can add the info to an avatar that shows up at the bottom of each post you make. It will tells us what year make and model RV you have. We can't help you much if you don't tell us what RV your talking about.

    A guess, is that you have a valve, like most RV's, that needs to be moved from open to closed. In the open position it adds water to your tank, in the closed position, it supplies water to the coach. The valve usually says "City Fill".
  • Backflow (one way) valve on the pump is stuck open and/or bad, causing water to flow into your tank.
