What if you closed the control valves and drained the systems. Connect an air compressor by the FDC and whatever system or systems show pressure are attached to that FDC line.

Once you get water from one, keep trying the others in case it feeds more than one. If you cant do that, pump water into the fdc with the systems drain until you get water coming out a main drain.
