Help no water from tank!

Jo_chris

After dewinterizing and bleeding Alde system with city water we are unable to get water from tank. Pump seems to be working, we did check clear cap on pump and emptied plastic particles out twice. With pump on, clear cap fills with water and water comes out of the right side valve. Pump keeps running and no water out of faucet. When we turn pump off water in clear cap drains. Could there be a blockage somewhere? Any suggestions?

Well problem solved...after fiddling back and forth several times with clear filter valve and hose connection on right side of pump, finally built enough pressure to clear bolckage. Ran faucets (including outside shower) to clear any additional air, system is pressurized and water is flowing! Hallelujah!!

With these types of pumps they sometimes have trouble picking up their prime after having been run dry.  What I had to do often on my boat was to suck on the galley faucet with pump running and valve open.  They usually start pumping then.  Sounds funny, but an easy solution.  The good thing is that they usually last for years.

Just had the  pump on my 2016 stop working after running fine all day. Took off the filter and cleaned it. Still wasn't pushing water prevent air. Took Rons advice and sucked on the hose coming out the right side really hard until it finally busted loose and started working again. Learn something new each trip it seems.

Old school what I've done is installed is primer bulb like you would see for outboard boat engine fuel tank set up seldom it has been needed but will do the trick if you are one that needs to winterize it just might do the trick for you.

I'm a new owner.  First time today to fill fresh water tank and to connect city water.  Results: nothing works,  pump won't come in, running off of a charged battery, intake for city water seems to be closed.  No info to expect this,  all worked at dealership. It has been setting about 2 weeks.  Any suggestions?

If above suggestions don't work maybe this is the problem: http://tab-rv.vanillaforums.com/discussion/comment/35557/#Comment_35557

Ok folks. So I'm a girl!  I started over, reattached the hose, turned water on in sink,nothing. So Just because i turned on the shower and...it worked!!!!  So why not the sink. Turned on pump and....it worked!  But water in shower, not in sink.  I was picking up my junk to give up for the night and bumped the sink and .....water!!!  Turned out the lever handle works side to side, not up and down.

Sometimes you just have to discover the problem by mistake :-)

Don't feel bad, I had to show my DH how the faucet works!
