MorScuba,

You might check the direction of the backflow preventor. Mine as well as others was installed backwards, which put pressure on the fittings and it apeard to leak, but was in fact preventing the water to go into the Black tank thus putting pressure on the fittings. There is an arrow for the direction of the water flow. I reversed it and all was well. Good Luck
