I now took out the screen and there is nothing there.

I'm so confused.

OK, so I spoke with Roger and Jeff Couch and he said the same thing and that I could replace it myself so I thought I would take it off and see what is up.

As you can see, there doesn't seem to be anything that would stop the water from shooting out. What am I looking for?

Actually it isn't your fault!  The city water connection has a one-way valve which in your case is either stuck open or completely broken.  First thing to try is gently remove the screen and then see if you can get the valve to seat with your finger.

Hello again,

OK, just checking out my water pump for the first time and filled the water tank to around a 1/3. Turned on the water pump and water is shooting out of my city water connection. I read the manual and looked at the paperwork that came with the pump and nothing addresses this.

I know it is operator error but I just don't know why. Obviously I am a newbie so any help is appreciated, as always.
