Have read everything I can find on this subject......why is FW tank magically filling up when I hook up to city water? Have turned the pump on and off, hoping a valve is stuck. Recent camp, hooked up to city water, monitored the FW tank all throughout the evening.....all good.....then in morning, the FW tank was 3/4 full, and eventually was full. Any suggestions? Thanks

You were on the right track with the pump. Turn off city water and cycle the pump on and off several times again. Also, remove the sediment bowl from the pump and clean that out. Mine was filled with plastic shavings from inserting the fittings and sensors. Now is as good a time as any to clean them out.
See if doing that will fix the stuck check valve. If not and your R-Pod is still under warranty, talk to your dealer about it.

I had same issue for one season, I would cycle pump, and sometimes it would work and then issue would happen again. I never found anything effecting the valve in the water pump, it would just allow city water into the FW tank. Solution - I changed the water pump. Problem went away.

Had the same problem with my 2017 179 Had the filter cleaned but it did't work eventually changed the pump on warranty and it is all better now. I think all the plastic shavings and junk they leave in the tanks from manufacture cuts the seal in the check valve.
