Water pump losing prime, continuous running

[beefsgt]

During our last trip out our water pump was not running correctly. It seems that if you run water for a short period of time, the pump will run after the valves are closed…continuously and will never reach the shutoff pressure…if you open a valve again…the pump will run and draw water…when you close the valve the pump builds pressure and shuts off.

I have removed and cleaned the filter screen, no luck. I replaced the pump, no luck. I discover some crimps that were loose and some gaskets that needed replacement, no luck.

I am completely frustrated. The only thing I can think of next is that the line going to the freshwater tank may have a leak?

who can help me with the solution? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Does it have a separate suction line and valve for pulling in antifreeze for winterization? If yes, that valve may be slightly open sucking in air.

It has the nautilus system on it…. Could it be one of the valves leaking?
