Re: water pump check valve
richheck wrote: Rangerman40 wrote: Might not be your check valve. In your water closetcdo you have a selector knob for your water? I believe it says "normal, tank, city, winterize" on it. My fresh tank was filling overnight and I thought it was the check valve as well but it turned out to be that selector knob. There is a cartridge behind that knob with a bunch of o rings in it to line up with different water hoses to go different directions and it wasn't sealing properly. Ranger man is correct, if your coach has the Anderson 4 position valve it is very common for it to leak back into your water tank and cause the overflow condition. Very easy to replace if necessary. Most common cause for blowing the o-rings is turning the selector valve while there is pressure in the system. Unfortunately I'm not able to access the water valve since it's behind a panel box outside under the frame on the driver's side, class B motorhome. I have looked to see how to take the side or bottom of this panel box off to no avail. I figure I try the in line check valve first and if that doesn't fix it, then I have no choice to take it in to an RV repair shop and let them figure out how to replace it.

No luck finding a check valve at home depot; I did find one on Amazon, will this one work and is it the right size as well? Thanks. https://www.amazon.com/Muzzys-Non-Return-Aluminum-Snowmobile-Motorcycle/dp/B01LZUKBTM/ref=sr_1_28?ie=UTF8&qid=1494543840&sr=8-28&keywords=in+line+check+valve638Views0likes0CommentsRe: water pump check valve

Brian Hey Brian, where did you get the nice brass check valve from? Picked it up at Home Depot for about $5.00 in April of 2015. Can't remember the part number or size now, Bill Gehr from Trailer Life and Motorhome Mag's is the one who gave me this fix and it has worked flawlessly since! Brian Thanks Brian, will see if I can find one there.639Views0likes0CommentsRe: water pump check valve

Appreciate all the replies; did some research and found out that the port parking lot by the cruise line charges $40 a day for oversize vehicles to park in their outside lot. Checked into several close by parking lots and found one with good reviews online and on facebook called Safe Cruise parking lot which charges $25 a day for RVs and they are a couple miles from the port and they provide complimentary transportation to and from the port. The lot is fenced in with 24/7 security and cameras. Looks like this is the way I'm going to go.402Views0likes0Comments3M Model A1 Water Filter Replacement Found
