Water pump not pumping?

I was testing my new to me BH today and went through the city pressure side of the plumbing and it all worked great. Then I put some water in the fresh water tank and turned on the pump....it would run but no pressure..what the heck? So I decided to put more water in the tank but I could not get the water to run in.....monitor showed 1/3 full. I decided to take the air relief hose off and blew into it hard. Something gave and all of a sudden a bunch of air came flying out and a bunch of gurgling in the tank...the fill hose drained. I then turned on my pump and voila! it pumps like a dream! Moral of the story....don't be too quick to condemn that pump.

Glad you were able to solve the mystery and also that you took time to share. It may save someone else a lot of aggravation in the future.
