I'm taking it in tomorrow.. Is still under warranty, I will let you folks know what the problem was...:h

Remember - when running the pump for the first time after filling the tank you may need a cold water faucet open to allow the pump to prime. Additionally dont start the gas or electric water heater heating until you are 100% certain the heater is full of water. They burn out quickly if allowed to heat with no water in them.

I already did that, and nothing still no water...:M

When trying to use the water in the tank does the pump run and still no water? Or does the pump not even run?

If the pump is running then follow the noise to the pump. Look at the hoses near the pump and see if there are any valves that you can turn. Turn a valve and wait a minute to see if the pump will prime. If not turn the valve back and try a different valve.

There are no MAIN shut off valves in your plumbing system......ONLY valves to isolate water heater.

Even IF water heater valving was incorrect you would still get water flow from COLD side of faucets, shower and toilet you just wouldn't get any flow from HOT side.

IF water heater valving is correct.............then water heater tank has to fill before you will get flow from HOT side but you should still get flow from COLD side.

City water inlet check valve bad......no water at all
But with water in fresh water tank, pump on should get water.
Can take a while to purge air from system.

Also......faucet aerators could be clogged but toilet should have water.

If your water heater bypass system is working properly, and water is coming out of the hose, then the check valve is probably defective and preventing water from flowing in.

That would not prevent the system from working if there is water in the holding tank and the pump is on.

Hmmm, you have at least one (probably two) in-line valves in your system that were closed when the TT was winterized.
You need to find them and open them up.
One will be close to your water pump where you can probably hook up a suction line when you need to pump antifreeze without putting the stuff in your FW tank.
