    slow fill on fresh water tank

    Wondering if anyone has a solution for filling the fresh water tank. I have all the valves set correctly on the panel and the supply hose from the house is running about 70psi. I have not timed it yet but I would guess that it takes 15-20 minutes or longer to fill my 60 gallon tank. Does this seem right or am I doing something wrong.

    Might be right. It takes me 25-30 mins to fill the 100 gal tank on our Momentum.

    I filled our Momentum for the first time this weekend, yeah it seemed a little long at about 20 minutes. One question.... without running in and out of the camper to see the full light, is there a way to know when it's full?

    35-45 minutes to fill the 157 on our Momentum. I think it is slow because it is running thru the filter.

    There should be a 1/2 PEX overflow line right beside the fresh water tank drain gate valve. Fill until there's flow out of the overflow.

    It took me 30 min this weekend too, first time. It did come out the rear aux overflow but still only read 3 lights on the meter.

    I bought a disposable aluminum pie pan and screwed it to a piece of wood upside down. The wood was a split piece of pressure treated 2x6 so the wood is much narrower than the pie plate. Placed it under the overflow tube and it sounds like a drum when the water starts coming out of the pipe. Shut the water off when you hear the noise. My aching back thanked me for not bending over repeatedly to check the overflow pipe.
