Water tank filling from city water connection

My fresh water tank keeps filling but I only use the city water connection. Today the water was actually coming out of the fresh water fill.

The check valve in the water pump is stuck.

Thanks. Any idea how to unstick it?

Should I just use the pump once?

The check valve is a common problem. Many posts on this forum with solutions. FYI. on most the check valve is built into the pump. Common solutions are to add an external check valve or replace the pump.

.....and be sure to leave the water pump turned off while your TT is pressurized with city water.
