no water coming out of faucets

It sounds like you have a small leak somewhere in the pump and so its not building enough pressure to shut off/ or air in a line. These pumps are like the pumps on our agricultural sprayers, when they reach a certain pressure they cut off until you open faucet. So if you have some air trapped in a line it will keep pumping until it compresses that air and reaches the shut off pressure. It will reach the shutoff pressure much quicker with no air in lines because you cant compress a liquid. So if air is trapped in the line its not reaching the max pressure. Sounds like you have air trapped in a line somewhere. Can air be trapped in the hot water heater. Because it sounds like quiet a lot.

okay so i connected city water hookup and that worked fine. but when i use the pump it barely pushes water out but yet it still does. just with no pressure and the pump wont shut off

okay the pump stopped after 10 minutes and when i turned the water on water came out for a short time with good pressure but then stopped giving water and the pump would not shut off again

From the above post I would say you either have a pump going bad or possibly the pressure valve is malfunctioning

yes probably. water comes out with good pressure until it runs out of pressure and then takes about 5minutes to stop

It happened once to me. Pump kept loosing it's prime. Replaced pump and all is now well.

we had the same problem with our camper the very first time out, ever. we thought we were doing something wrong so we took it back to the dealer to check it out. Turned out that when we filled the fresh water tank there was sand in the water. The dealer ended up putting a new filter in and solved the problem.

Is it busy filling up the WH?

Wow, I didn't think of that one.

[Old-Biscuit]

Filling up WH is one of the things.

Check pump inlet side for any air leaks

Open the closest faucet and expel the air in lines

1) do you have a low point drain just after the pump? If so open it and turn pump on - that will tell you if pump is pumping. If not, then it could be a problem with the pump or prime.

2) Can you run city water under pressure into your TC? That will tell you if the plumbing to your faucets is good.
