Noticed a leak at the back of the trailer when using 12v pump from fresh water tank. It virtually emptied my 60 gallon tank in a couple of days. I thought it was a valve problem of my pump so when I got back home I replaced the pump. Still doing it. Any thoughts?
It was a valve problem in the pump. Check valve was stuck pump is fine. You need city water to get it unstuck. Never run the pump while on city water. That's how it gets stuck in the first place. The pump can be easily be taken apart and cleaned out if the problem continues.
