[Pugtracker]

Had ureka moment

1. using a bladder or five gallon jug run a hose from your water source to the winter fill

2. turn on winter fill

3. using your outside shower or hose connect to the non gravity fill or normal flow inlet, turn to fill

4. pump will turn on and fill tank from bladder

With the older style gravity feed there is an input hole for water and a vent to allow air to escape. These new ones just have the air vent. If u use the vent to fill in water how does the air escape? Could this cause a pressure problem or do u just fill the water slow enough to allow air to come back up the same tube

Filling the fresh water tank via the vent/fill hole is similar to filling a car with gas. It's not a tight seal, so the air comes back up the pipe. It overflows when you fill it up.
