There are two ways to pressurize the TM water system.

Water in the tank with the pump running is one way.

A pressurized garden hose attached to the external supply port is the second way.

The second way will bypass the pump/tank and any problems that may be there. Pressurizing the system with a garden hose will supply water to both the water heater and the cold water lines without the pump running or without water in the tank. Once pressurized, water will flow out any open drain or faucet and out the water heater overpressure valve(if opened).

Lines or fittings that may have frozen with water in them may be broken and leaking into the area under the bath tub (from the external shower if you have one)

Perhaps...even though it is above freezing in CS now...there is still ice blocking the supply line from the pump or hose connection.

Just some thoughts,
