2021 geo ro 19fd water pump

I dewinterized (pink stuff) today and filled my fresh water tank. After doing so I get little pressure and a lot of air after running faucets. Tank and hot water tank are full. Bypass valves are pointed toward hot water tank and fill valve is pointed in line not perpendicular to water line. Pump does not shut off. The plastic in line filter near the pump was removed and checked for cracks in it and there were none. There is no leak anywhere in the visible lines anywhere. Low points are closed. I ran a system check on city water and everything worked fine. It also had advantage of purging line. The in line water filter in the outside rear compartment filled with water. Not sure what else might be going on. The only other thing I noticed was the outside water filter does not fill with water water. Should it? Any suggestions would be appreciated

If you've got an outside antifreeze connection, it could be that the valve near the water pump is still set to pull from the antifreeze inlet. On my 20BHS, our valve points to the hose that pulls from the fresh water tank. If i rotate the valve to be parallel to the line, it will pull from the antifreeze inlet.

To clarify, is the valve in the 2nd photo in the antifreeze position?

No, it's in the fresh water tank position. If the valve was parallel to the blue pex line connected to the valve, it would be in the antifreeze position.

Thanks for your help. After you input and that of friends, trial and error, figured out the problem was air leak in the water mizer. Instead of going in through the water mizer (good in theory but not so much in reality) i cut the line near the pump and put in a shut off valve. Problem fixed.
