Low Water Pressure using Water Pump

Yahoo Message Number: 106110
I learned something this morning. I had been chlorinating our (new to us) coach water system yesterday and after the last fill had neglected to turn the valve in the water bay from "fresh water fill" to "city water" before leaving for our next destination. We didn't use the water pump until last evening when the pump would run but water pressure was very low and the pump seemingly could not pressurize the system and shut off. Since it was late, we shut off the pump and went to bed. I woke up in the middle of the night (when I do my best thinking) and remembered that I may not have switched the valve from "Fill" to "City". This morning I went out and closed the valve and had great pressure and the pump was able to pressurize the system. Veterans will probably recognize this newby mistake, but on the odd chance that someone else didn't know this quirk, I'm posting it. The "Valve to City for Water Pressure" condition is not called out in the owner's manual. Balmy 37 degrees and draining in Decorah, IA this morning.
