I have a new 2022 321bh and cannot get the city water connection to work at all. I have done everything the way the owners manual says to by turning the blue handle down to the city water position and turning on the supply but nothing comes through the lines. All it does is fill the fresh water tank. Everything thing works as it should as long as I use the fresh water tank and pump.

Kevin1313 Hello Kevin and welcome to the forum. I saw you posted this earlier on an old thread from 2021, as well as here. We don't allow the same topic posted twice so I deleted your other post.
Regarding your question, if those valves are set right, I would guess the check valve in your pump might be sticking.

Kevin1313 -- Neil is correct that the most likely culprit is the water pump. If you're a DIY'er (like the majority here) GD may send you a replacement pump. Give GD Customer Service a call (see "business card", main page) for their contact info. Make sure and have the rig's VIN handy.

Post a picture of the water control panel showing the valve settings. There are a variety of valve panels. I assume there is more than the blue valve. Do you get no water at all to the faucets when using city water? If the water system works while using the pump and freshwater tank, I doubt it is a pump problem. It may be a plumbing problem.Ted

I would suggest opening up the side panel to gain access to the back of the control panel to look for a kinked or collapsed hose to/from this valve. (Take a picture or two while you are back there!)

Originally posted by Kevin1313 View PostThis is a picture of mine and even when in city water position it fills the fresh water tank. I don't think it's a pump issue since if the pump is on it works fine. If I shut the pump off then I get nothing.
The valve is just a diverter style, so I wonder if perhaps the valve was just connected wrong on your trailer, and 'City Water' is connected to the tank fill, and 'Tank Fill' is connected to the trailer plumbing system. What happens when you put the diverter valve on Fresh Tank fill?2019 Imagine 2400BH

There should be a check valve on the pump that prevents the city water from back flowing through the pump into the tank. That's what Howard and I think might have failed on your pump.Forum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself.

If the pump check valves or check valve at the pump outlet have failed, the pump will not hold pressure when running on the pump and freshwater tank. Does the pump cycle a lot when running just on the pump and freshwater tank?Ted
