If your tank is full, just disconnect the water hook up and use your tank and pump. I never use a water hookup, even if it is available, except to fill my fresh tank.
Some years ago one of the campgrounds I stay at handed us a notice that the city was "Super Chlorinating" the water system. Even a year later it still tasted of bleach.
Well I remembered something from my freshwater fish tank days
(Fill a bucket, let it sit, then add it to the fish tank to get rid of teh bleach in the city water)
So inspration hit and I filled the 80 gallon on board.. And sure enough with out pressure in the line the bleach taste went away..
So now.. I keep doing that.
Serendipity benefit: (Means unexpected good thing) Since I full time with memberships, and since my wife died. I can go 3-5 weeks on 80 gallons of fresh.. Membership is 2 weeks in one week out of the membership park
So summers I use two memberships and back & forth. One has very good water the other has issues. I hook up when I get to the good park, Dump and fill Dump and re-fill before I leave 2 weeks later and at the park I"m in today.. I keep the hoses in the hose storage. Do not even hook up. Half the work
Winters it is one week 2 week I only hook up at the 2 week full hookup park .
