   Will have to try hooking up my hose to the city water connection and see if that happens to my 177.  Here I have owned it for almost 11 years and have never used that connection, have always used well water and the FW tank.

	I didn’t use the pump at all while connected to the city water. Will check that out. Thank you

	No, it's not intended to do that, there is a check valve in the water pump that is supposed to prevent that. It's pretty common for that to leak and backfill the fresh water tank when on city water, especially if you don't use the pump much. Try disconnecting city water and use your pump and FWT for a bit, see if that clears it. You might need to cycle back and forth between city water and the pump/tank a few times.

	Good evening, So I took my R Pod 183g out for the first time. I didn’t realize that when I connected the water hose the fresh water tank got full of water until I got home 300 miles later. Lesson learned there but is there a way to by pass the fresh water tank or that’s just the way it’s supposed to work?
