There should be a separate "check valve" out side of the pump.
At least that's how the trailer was originally equipped.
One check valve keeps city water pressure off the pump. and another check valve keeps the pump pressure from escaping thru the city water hose connection.
Check valves sometimes, fail and must be replaced.
Some pumps have a check valve, some do not.
