How do you normally fill fresh water tank?
Gravity fill port where you stick a hose in

Via swapping a valve/switch to "FILL"
"FILL" valve...could be leaking thru
Water pump has an internal 'check valve' (diaphragm) that can not fully close due to construction debris or even scaling from water
When fresh water tank fills......turn off city water suppy...tuen pump ON and use the water in fresh water tank.
Using the pump water flows the correct direction thru pump and can clear up/clean the 'check valve' so it closes.
Fact is....only use the pump/fresh water tank---just fill fresh water tank as needed.
I fill from an outside port with a hose.
So, even though I have an internal water filter, (which is ahead of the pump), it would be a good idea to have a filter in the incoming water line to filter out the particulate from the RV Park water?
