We hook up the the fresh water connection and within a day the fresh water tank is full-sometimes spilling out of tank. It has a flo jet water pump. We recently replaced the spray port because it froze over the winter. Anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like you have a check valve that broke. At least that's what was wrong when the same thing happened to us in our PUP years ago.

Are you connected to your water tank or water inlet?! If you have hook-ups you don't need to fill and or use your fresh water tank. Make sure your hose is connected to your city water inlet.

Bad check valve in the pump. There are rebuild kits available for the pump or you could install a check valve in the line between the pump and fresh water tank.

Agree that this should not happen if water is connected to city water inlet. You can also leave water pump switch off then. It is only required if you are using water from the fresh water tank.

Bad check valve in the fresh water pump. It may have frozen over the winter too. Rebuild kit is inexpensive.
