No water pressure at all

[mikew968]

I winterized with air as it was just for a few day and now I can't get the pump to prime. It just runs and runs without any water flow. Need some help as I am headed out for the weekend tomorrow.

Thanks, Mike

Water valves set to the proper positions to draw from your tank? On my Greyhawk the setting is NORMAL, but not sure what Jayco named it on your Seneca or if you even have to set valves.

Opening a faucet to bleed air will help.

I had this happen too. The pump runs and runs and won't shut off. I finally got things going again by trying all of the options:

- flipped the valves back and forth several times (all combo's 1..6)
- hooked up a hose to push City Water thru the lines
-

Eventually I got things moving again.

Now, I hadn't blown the lines out with air, but I had done some Country Fill right before the nonsense started.

I'm sure you got this fixed by now. However I experienced the same thing on our fifth wheel last fall. I finally hooked up the garden hose to fill the tank but set the valves to country fill. This forces water through the pump under city pressure. Run the pump for a short period and it will hold prime long enough for you to set the valves back normal.

Two things...

Take off your filter unit and fill it with water to the top, then take the little mesh filter thing at the city water connection and flip it around so that it pushes the check valve in. Makes it prime much easier.

i ended up putting the switches in normal and hooking up the facet from the outside water and turning it on. That "forced" the prime.
