Hi Folks- I found that my fresh water pump was running continuously today and not pressurizing the system and not cutting out when pressurized. I confirmed there was water in the tanks and flow to the manifold that controls tank choice. But there was no water in the filter after the manifold and before the pump. I removed the hose connecting the manifold/filter to the pump and when I sucked on it, I got water, so nothing appears blocked. When I turned the pump on (Par-Max4), I could not feel any suction on the opening. I presume these are self-priming pumps, so I should have felt some pull. The pump is 30 years old, so I am presuming it is just dead, but wondering if there is any other scenario that might make it not work before I replace it. Thanks- Dave
