Water tank issue

I want camping this weekend to a state park no water or electricity.
I filled up my water tank at home and used the pump for the water when I was at campsite.
The odd thing is everytime I turned on water with the pump, water would shoot out my water supply hose fill outlet that i use when camping at a campground with water supply.
Something is wrong it shouldnt shoot out the other side of camper.Is something hooked up wrong.
I also notice when im at a private campground and use there water supply I seem to have alot more gray water waste then I remember using.
When i bought trailer in for service I had them bypass the hot water heater because it wasnt working right and i didnt really need it in summer.Could they have done something wrong
Thanks

If you can't fix it just plug it when you want to use the pump. It's probably illegal (the check valve is there for a reason) but I won't tell.

I would say go for it as it looks fairly simple to do and you could save some money in the process.

Water is shooting out of the shore water inlet because the back check valve has failed. Easy replacement.

Increased grey water waste is probably usage.

I doubt seriously that the water heater being bypassed has anything to do with either issue.
