The anti siphon valve is there to prevent any contaminated water from getting into the fresh water supply. As a rule in RV’s the valve is installed at a higher point than the inlet and spray port on the tank and since science has shown water doesn’t travel “uphill” it’s kind of an “insurance” fitting.
IF the fresh water system were to suddenly have a catastrophic failure it could potentially “pull water” from the flush system.
