We have a water tank issue we're trying to solve. Here's the issue:
Over the weekend we went to the boat, turned on the fresh water pump, but it just kept running. No water was coming out of the faucets. Tank showed 3/4 full. To test it I even put in more water to get it to full. Still no water.
My first thought was the pump. We've replaced it before. So I got a new pump. Problem not solved.
(I'll add I cleaned the strainer between the tank and the pump, which was dirty)
After talking on the phone with my mechanic, it sounds like there's a clog between the tank and the pump inlet. I tried to blow into the hose and it wouldn't work.
Any thoughts on tracking down the issue? My water tank is not easily accessible.
Ill also add city water works fine, so everything past the pump is clear.
