Notes/Comments:
We all went out of sim to Green River. When we returned, our inside
water tank was empty and after refilling, the Hab Pressure Pump is not
pumping anything (it does not start) so we have no water nor for shower
nor for washing the dishes.
Although it looks as if we have left one tap open and the pump burned
down, all taps were closed when we left/returned).
When the pressure pump is turned on we measure 26 V on the pump but it
does not pump water if water tap is opened.
We can get water from the lab tap, which works "gravitationally".
