toilet in 3100
« on: April 16, 2015, 02:02:28 pm »
Yesterday morning after all the heavy rain here in KY i went to check on my new 3100.  The commode was almost full of water. There is no water hookupin use and the pump was not on.  I flushed it and checked it this AM.  A small amount of water was in the bottom.  Any ideas how this could happen.  I thought maybe rain came in the vent somehow.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks

That is a little strange...there would be no way that I am aware of that the vent could in any way be connected to the actual bowl.  the entire holding tank would have had to be filled with water and I doubt that could ever happen with a light rain coming down the vent pipe!  I would guess that there may have been a small amount of siphoned water that may have run into the tank after the pump was shut off.  I would not worry about it if it was me.

Mike,

We had the same thing happen the other day.  Our toilet bowl was half full of water even though we were not hooked up and the pump was off.  We figured there must have been some built up pressure in the pipes. We flushed it and it hasn't happened since.  This was the first time in six years.

If the pump had been on, and then turned off, some pressure remains....especially if there is air in the system.   If the toilet valve had a slow leak..that excess water would have (could have) slowly run into the bowl.   But typically that would only be 4 to 8 ounces.   Not enough to almost fill the bowl.    Did you by any chance check the toilet right after you parked it?   If the toilet valve had a slow leak...it could have been leaking while the pump was on....and you just didn't notice it.

No way rain could have backed up into the bowl.

Mike,

I noticed you spend part of the year in Hilton Head. Our family has been going to Hilton Head for several years to visit my father and mother in law, they had a home on Ibis. We have a large family so we always took our Motorhome when we went to visit.
My in laws sold their house a couple of months ago. My wife just reminded me this evening that their house in Hilton Head went to settlement today................sad to say we no longer have ties to the Island it's a beautiful place to visit.
It must be interesting to be down there with the Heritage golf classic going on. :)

Dave

Thanks to all the ideas.  I think there was air in the system and it continued to fill.  I will push the pedal after the pump is turned off.  With regard to the Hilton Head Comment , the Heritage is not so loved if you do not have a business there.We would normally leave about time for the Heritage and not return until fall.  We are on lot 38 in the RV resort as you enter the Island.  Now you have someplace to stop.
