water leaking from the underbelly - 2018 310GK

[TSRig18]

I just happened to look under my rig this morning and noticed water dripping. I checked my tank levels and my black tank was full, even though I just emptied it yesterday. When I pulled the valves the water came roaring out as if the black tank actually was very full and at the end came a torrent of clear water. Normally the flow is colored and just comes to a stop still colored until you use the black tank flush. Not sure where to look for a problem. I have the panel in the underbelly off and there is a little bit of water on the floor. Just waiting for an rv tech. Any comments would be appreciated.

Update - I think I had 2 issues going on here. The first was that I did have a hose connected to the black flush port. Even though the tap was turned off, I think it was leaking enough that it slowly added to the black tank which caused it to fill up.

The 2nd issue that I found with the help of my neighbour, was that the filter on the water pump had cracked (probably due to the cold weather we had, starting out, even though we didn't put water in the rig until mid Washington state) and it was leaking. It was leaking enough that it ran into the underbelly of the rig and found a way out from there, totally unrelated to the black tank issue. Shout out to a little Mom and Pop RV shop in Desert Hot Springs (Blair Station) that had the filter that fit our pump. The place is a hole in the wall but has a ton of inventory, reasonably priced. My first instinct was to try Amazon, but since I prefer to shop local I did, and it payed off. I put everything back together and we will see what the morning brings. Thanks to all who responded.

Cheers

Does the dripping water smell? Do you have a hose hooked up to the black tank flush inlet?

Hi Rob - the water does not smell. I do have a hose hooked up to the black tank flush but the tap is turned off at the other end.

... but the tap is turned off at the other end.

@TSRig18 - Valves have been known to fail or leak.

A couple of forum tips:

1) If you use "Reply With Quote" (to the right of "Reply") as I have here, folks will know to whom you are responding and that person will get a notification.

2) You can also tag folks using the "@" symbol and their user name (as I have done yours) - they'll also get a notification that way.

Thanks for that - especially pertinent because it is the same model as ours.

I'm guessing your flush hoses is slowly filing it due to a leaking shut-off. Have you pulled the hose and watched it yet?

I can't make the youtube link above work. Our network is blocking it for some reason. What's the title of the clip?
