What valve do I open to get from fresh water tank to water pump?
I have apparently somehow shut off the water supply line to the water pump. Everything was working until I had a problem with the fresh water tank filling when it shouldn't have been, which led to me experimenting with opening or closing valves to try to correct that situation. With lines out of sight, and unable to find schematic of how water lines are run, I'm either not able to get water to the pump, or the pump quit functioning. What's the easy solution to solving my problem?

On my 2013 Aspire, the fill valve on the front of the panel is vertical, and the valves on the floor are set like the image below. Make sure that your portable shower valves are closed in the wet bay as well. My water pump usually works best from my half bath (not sure if you have one) to get the pump working.

Make sure the plug is tight in your fresh water hose and your outside rinse station is turned off on both hot and cold and the hand held wand button is turned off. Also, looking at Marks picture, the water line on the right has a valve just above the picture edge. That valve should be pointed down.

This is how my valves are positioned. . The two valves to the left are drain valves and I’ve had the very same problem and found that, while I’ve had the pump running I turned the upper valve in line to start a suctioning from the pump to get water to it and send water to what ever facet you may have open. From what you described it seems the pump needs priming to get the flow going again. I opened a couple of facets to expel the air lock. I could also tell the pump was working by the noise and I could see water and air bubbles going to the pump. It shortly had a steady flow of water.
Hope this helps.

Sure would of been nice for Entegra to take 5 minutes to label each valve.
