Not sure about what you are calling a water pump by pass. On all the coaches we have owned somewhere on the inlet side of the pump there should be a valve will isolate the fresh water tank from the pump. That valve should be in line from the tank to the pump. On our ACE it obscured by a wiring harness, hard to see under all the wires but it was there none the less.

I will check by my freshwater tank also what I meant by the bypass was from the hot water heater I didn’t know if they were in the same location the water pump and the bypass for the hot water tank thanks for the reply

Backside of the hot water heater should have your heater by pass. Ours has three valves. 1 on top of heater outlet, 1 on the bottom of heater on inlet line and the 3rd is on the by pass line between them. On ours we close the top and bottom valves and open the one on the by pass to winterize.
