new water pump - now water filling tank??
Just put in a shurflow 4800. Now when I took up to city water, my tank fills and overflows and I get no water pressure. The pump works great, super quiet, and great flow when I'm not on city water...

Any ideas?
More than likely the checkvalve in the pump is bad. This is very common and a repetitive issue with Shurflo pumps.
Install this on the discharge hose coming out of the pump:

This model is good quality with metal (not plastic) internals.
You might need adapters to place this in line with your hose; the Shurflo pump connections are specific to those fittings so just cutting the hose and "barbing these in is easiest.
adapters like these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BPECSK/?coliid=I1FX1IZI2CSVX1&colid=32BP8LZDSEKI7&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
