No water, what am I missing

First, I'm sure it's something obvious. But we leave in two days and I can't figure out what I've missed.

I dewinterized, all the pink stuff out of the water tank, using the pump. Ran bleach water through fresh water tank and out faucet twice. Also let the low point drains drain their pink out, and the shower. All fine.

Put the anode in the water heater. Turned the bypasses all on. Hooked up to city water. Turned on. Ran to back to check for leaks and didn't hear any water coming into water heater. Went inside. Tried sink. water came out until lines cleared and then nothing. Like there is not any water pressure. Tried shower - pressure fine. Went and made sure I turned the hose to the city water on - it was.

Trying to eliminate, put two more gallons of water in fresh water tank. Turned on pump. Came out very slowly in sink--toothpick size stream, shower fine. Then pump stopped - it wasn't on more than 30 seconds so I can't imaging that burned it up.

What have I missed?? Where's the water??

PS I also flipped the bypasses back and forth once or twice just in case I had something wrong, but no sound change nothing.

Someone tell me I'm stupid here and missed something because I don't have time to go in for a repair tomorrow

Oh and the pump is not making a peep now. I even pulled the fuse. Waited. Put it back in. Switch on. nothing. I'm at a standstill.
Help please.
  • Water filter was not on hose this time (usually do at campground but I'm home). Will look at sink faucet screen because shower ran fine.

    In the meanwhile to keep myself from hitting refresh constantly, I went out and worked on other things. Every little bit I flipped on the pump to see if it chirped (hoping... wishing...) The very last time before I locked up, the pump came on. Still nothing in the sink but shower running. I'm happy I didn't blow up the pump - it not working either is what thew me the most. I'll go check the sink. Thank you
