Water Pump (continued)

[Curt Sprenger]

Jerry,
It could be the pump. I doubt multiple lines would all of a sudden plug up.

Is the outside water tank fill switch set to off?

There should be an in-line strainer close to the water-in side of the
pump, about 2" dia. and 4" tall, it could be plugged. It has a screen
that can be cleaned out. Or the top of the strainer may be cracked
allowing the pump to suck air.
