water leak

[llabudie]

we have a 2016 jayco eagle fifth wheel. Made the mistake of turning on city water before diverting valves. i know have a leak some where. Any ideas what may have occurred. i cant visually see the leak water coming out bottom near tank drains.

Shouldn’t make a difference if the valves were correctly positioned or not. That shouldn’t cause a leak unless your water pressure is so high you blew a fitting off somewhere which is rare. What leads you to believe you have a leak if you don’t see any water?

If you don't see any water inside, You will need to remove the underside cover and pull it down just enough to see in there with a flashlight.

Is this a new to you rig?

We did have water dripping out the bottm near the holding tank out let. I pulled down the walls in the storage compartment and discover water leaking from the pump filter. Removed silconed and replaced. That solved the issue. the good news was lucky enough to see from the top side behind the water station with out dropping bottom. Thanks for everyones in put.

What do you mean by siliconed?

The little clear plastic cup on the bottom of the pump? That shouldn’t need silicone, it’s meant to screw on and off so you can clean it if needed.

cup cracked?

[llabudie]

yes the cup , no not cracked , apparently vibrated lose. I just added a dap around top to keep from coming lose again easily. did not glue or over do sealer. Thanks.

Glad you found the leak! With so many different types of campers and so many opinions, your going to get us all just spitballing When given so little information. Putting your rig year and model in your signature will help a lot. It’s hard to keyboard diagnose without pictures and/or detailed info

Glad you found that. I was adjusting the pressure sensitivity on my pump a few nights ago and found a small puddle back there. I’ll investigate further today. May be similar.
