Freshwater Issues

I just replaced my Shurflo water pump under the galley sink. (The mechanic over the winter said it wasn’t running properly, but that’s neither here no there.) The pump seems to be working normally but I’m getting so much air in the plumbing, I’m barely getting any water flow. I tested if by filling up a 5 gallon bucket with water and dumping the inlet hose and everything was working perfectly with no issues. It seems like the pump is not pulling any water in the tanks. I tried to bleed the air out for a while but I didn’t want to wear out the pump. Both water tanks are full. I’m not sure how to troubleshoot this.

Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
