So, I knew i had almost emptied the potable water reservoir, but thought there was still some in there. I spent the night elsewhere and when I came home today I heard a faint humming noise. I went and checked and the water pump was running, even though none of the faucets were open, and there was no reason I could see for it to be running.

I pulled the fuse to the pump and it stopped.

I filled the water tank back up (about 1/4 way) and as soon as it started filling, I put the fuse back in. The pump ran for a split second, then stopped.

I assume it had gotten low enough to make the pump think I was calling for water and caused it to turn on (but I don't think this should happen).

Anyway, now I have no running water inside. I added more water, to get it about 1/2 full, and still no running water.

I moved the hose to the city water supply, and now I have runinng water, but with little/no pressure.

Anyone know what may have happened, and what I might need to do to get everything working right again?
