PSA: When your pump keeps running

Had a fairly "duh" learning experience this last trip. Fired up the water pump and it just kept running. Ran around frantically for 10 min looking for where the water must be pouring out all over a place it shouldn't only to realize the city water was set to fill the tank. Seems it was able to suck enough air to not build pressure and turn off the pressure switch.

So if that happens check your fill valve!

Hope I didn't mess the pump up. Worked fine for the rest of the trip.

the potable water pumps in most RVs now days are designed that they can be run dry without doing damage to the pump. Good heads up to others
