Filling fresh water tank from control switch

Yesterday, hooked up to city water I decided to sanitize our fresh water tank with bleach , so I switched the valve from normal flow to fill and shut off city water when it was full.
Went inside to turn 1st tap and water pump on. Great, until I shut all the taps off, the water pump would cycle on and off very 3-4 seconds.
(this is the first time I used the pump in months) I thought, damn pump is broken. Emptied the basement, took off the side panel and back panel to get to the water pump...hmmm, whew, no leaks anyways. Back into Monty to try the pump, same thing.....sigh, thinking, the closest RV place was a 2 hour drive.
Then it dawned on me! Turned the switch from fill to normal flow...it worked!
When the pump is used and the switch is in fill position, I could hear and see air bubbles in the lines, switch to normal flow...works.

When we go out for hours I shut off the city water, and when we get back, sometimes I forgot to turn the water on, and if its raining hard
we just turn the pump on and use tank water, with the switch in the normal flow position.
