I have a Nonsuch 36. Last fall when I emptied the water system and put in antifreeze everything worked fine. Now Ive filled the tanks, the pump seems to work, the valves are open and I get no pressurization of the system. No water flows out the faucets. Any thoughts or suggestions?
John, remove any screens you have at the faucets — they can get blocked with crud.

John , check the connections at water lines between the tanks and pump . Especially the connections that were disconnected for winterization. The slightest air leak can cause your problem.

Hi John, if for some reason you introduced too much air into the system when you were winterizing that could be your problem. Our water pumps work best when there’s solid water before the pump and after the pump…especially after the pump. You need to get rid of this air for the pump to do its job.

Thanks to all of you. It appears to be a combination of air lock and filters. Two of the three faucets now work. I have to take apart the galley one and look for the issue.
