Fresh Water Pump-But No Water

I have a 2008 Keystone Copper Canyon Sprinter. I thought I had a fresh water pump problem so I installed a new Shurflo 4008 pump. Opened faucets, but no water. All connections in trailer are tight and I don't believe I have a vacuum leak. Pump has suction and pressure. I disconnected the line to the fresh water tank and blew it out with my compressor. Water came pouring out of the line. I reconnected it and pump worked for a minute then quit pumping water. My question is: is there a check valve between the fresh water tank and pump that could have gone bad, or is there something else that could be wrong with that line? I have not yet taken off undercarriage cover to check line.

  • By chance does it have a winterizing intake? If so, check that cap. Also, make sure all of your bypasses are turned the correct way.
  • Is water heater FULL........
    Takes a while depending on size of WH

    Open faucet closest to water heater....hot side and let pump RUN.
    WH Tank has to fill AND air in system has to be blown out before water can flow

    Turn pump ON....open faucet ...let it run
