Why is my fresh water tank filling up when hooked to city water?
When the city water pressure feeds fresh water into the on-board fresh water tank it means one of two things: either a “quick fill” valve is left open (or is faulty), or the check valve in the outlet side of the water pump has failed. In most cases, this check valve is integral to the pump.
How does city water fill fresh water tank?
My city water/fresh water fill valve is a Swan Quick Fill with a two positon lever. I too had my fresh water tank filling up when the Swan valve was in the city water position. I have a manual shut off valve between my water pump inlet and the fresh water tank.
How long does it take for a fresh water tank to fill up?
His problem is: when plugged to city water and the valve to city water, the fresh water tank will fill up. It may take 7-10 days for the tank to fill up and overflow. I suspect the valve (the one we turn to city water or tank fill) to be defective. A tech pretends it would be the valve where the city water hose is connected to the MH. Any idea?
Why does my freshwater tank keep filling up?
There is a one-way check-valve inside of the water pump and this often gets dislodged and stuck open. When this happens, water from the city water connection can flow backwards through the pump and into the freshwater tank.
How can I Stop Fresh water from filling my tank?
To eliminate the water pump check valve, I closed the manual valve and the fresh water tank was still filling. In fact, I could hear the water trickling into the tank with the Swan valve against the stop in the city water position. I took the handle off the valve and with a cresent wrench, moved the valve further than the handle would allow.
