Filling water tank-again.
So- anode back in the hot water tank, bypass unbypassed, I tried to fill tanks.
At first seemed like nothing happened. I noticed checking the level that the fresh tank had a drip from the valve so fixed that, it seemed to change something and I started getting water to go in. Hot water tank eventually filled, fresh showed two lights. (Which apparently is not much.)
Drove to campground. Flushed toilet 2x, no cold water now, shows empty. Hot ran with pump on a little but no cold. (Hot water faucet- I never turned the heater on.)
Borrowed water containers for the rest of the trip, two days.
The only other time I've tried to fill the tank I had the same problem, ended up with a friend's help filling from a 5 gallon jug using a siphon.
So what's the trick? Water just runs back out when I try to fill with a hose (not tons of pressure but running steadily.)
Also- pump on or off while filling? (I've heard both.)
