I had a similar problem several years ago.  I bought a replacement shurflo or jabsco pump, but decided to disassemble the old one before hooking up the new pump.  In taking the old pump apart, I noticed debris in the pump diaphragms.   I cleaned the pump mechanism and it worked great.  Needless to say, I returned the new pump.

Sounds like you have a break in the water line.  I suggest checking all your water lines and make sure they are secure.

Dear Catalina friends,

 

I lost fresh water pressure this morning. Pump is whirring but no water comes out of the faucet. I was running low in water but filled the tank this morning. The foot pump in the galley works fine and pumps water. The electric pump seems to work but still no water out of any faucet. I checked the fittings and connections for leaks and I couldn’t find anything. Opened all faucets and ran the pump a couple of times for 5 minutes, nothing. I suspect air might be trapped in the system. Does anyone have any idea in what might be going on and how to fix it? 

Thanks in advance for your help
