I have a 179 just purchased new in July. I have it parked on my drive and hooked the house water up to the appropriate hook up and when I came out the next morning, water was coming out of the fill spout and the water tank was completely full. Anyone have any ideas of what's going on?

Sounds like the check valve on the line is installed backward or failed.

Yup that's what I was thinking. Don't think it was happening earlier this year so it sounds like it's failed.

actually, it's the check valve in the pump head. turn off city water. turn on sink tap, turn on pump, let run for a minute. turn off pump, turn off tap at sink, turn city water back on. enjoy.
