There shouldn't have been any pressure, I drained all lines and opened all facuiets. I screwed caps back on all low drain points, put valve to tank, filled for about 10 minutes "never saw water come out overflow, but showed full on display", disconnected hose, put valve to normal, turned on pump, and nothing happened. Then I closed all facuiets then opened one at a time, still nothing. So I turned valve to city, hooked hose back up, opened facuiets, a lot of air came out then water started flowing. Un hooked hose turned valve back to normal, turned pump on and water flowed good. So I was assuming the pump didn't work Bc the lines were empty.
