SWAN Quick Water Fill not passing water on Local Supply
We have a SWAN Quick Fill on our 2010 Aerbus. It seems to work fine when pointing to "Fresh water Tank", but when pointing to "Local Supply" we get no water from faucets. Are these repairable? Swan has a replacement for $155.00.

Changed out the valve today with a new one from SWAN and it works as it should. I hooked the old one up to a spigot and it seemed to also work now. I was thinking of replacing the check valve to use the old as a spare, but confused as to why it seems to work now. Any ideas?

I have the Swan system too. IMO the reason it wasn't working was lack of use. These valves only get used once a year usually, which allows the "o" rings to stick and accumulate water deposits.
I rock both switches about 3X a year now after having the same leaking sticky valve issue. I do make sure there is no pressure in my plumbing first, RV antifreeze tastes baad.

After looking at the valve more I think the check valve is sticking, so I have ordered a new check valve and will keep the old SWAN valve as a spare.

Now it is out, disassemble and rub a thin coat of vasoline on the O rings with a Q-tip

So are these SWANs reparable from Home Depot parts?
I tool the cover off mine today. When I turn the valve to NOT fill the watertank I still have water coming in and the main tank will overflo. So before I remove it and do not want to spend $150 for a $20 part. Has anyone found local parts vs SWAN parts to fix the valves?
Thanks Bruce
