Water Pump pumping but no water?

[Newbie1964]

First weekend away this year in the Eldis Autoqueat 196, filled the water tank on arrival, pressed the pump button, started pumping but no water from any taps or to the loo? Just had a hab service with no issues raised, filter looks clean every thing seems just as we left it when we drained down for the winter (Dec) but we’re filling bottles from the campsite tap! Looking under the van this morning can see water pouring out of a “black box” under the van, NOT the water tank but on the opposite side under where the fridge and sink sits, small spout from this box is pouring water out when the pump button on the control panel is pressed? Any help or thoughts would be appreciated!

Is the water heater drain/dump valve closed?

Valve is closed but the water seems to be coming from a tube on the “black box” which looks like it is threaded to take a plug? I did jerry rig a plug and tried the pump but still no water from the taps. Wary about plugging this tube in case it’s a safety feature for the Whale heating system?

No pipes loose, drain tap closed and dump valve looks closed too, photo shows the “mysterious” pipe!

Same water heater (Whale). I've just had the water heater drain valve replaced after months of problems. Most likely suggestion is that it's stuck open. Try working the release valve a few times to see if it'll free up.

Check the button is pushed in on the dump valve as well as the tap being in the closed position.
