I was thinking about a simpler issue based on the assumption that air might have creeped in the pump.As far as I can follow the water lines and fixtures there is no obvious leak. I guess I'll have to remove inlet and outlet hoses to manually check for obstructions or leaks.Maybe the pump needs to be primed.It might be time for the pump to be rebuilt/ replaced.Thanks again!VassiliSailing on NaftakiCambridge, MAOn Sat, Aug 14, 2021 at 7:10 PM littlebreeze <littlebreeze at comcast.net> wrote:Or you could have a hole in the diaphragm.

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 helpVassili Sailing on Naftaki Cambridge, MA-- Vassili Valayannopoulos 91 Sherman St, Unit 2Cambridge, MA, 02140USA+1-857-928-1871
