Two things to check:-
1) Is the boiler drain valve shut ?( normally a little yellow lever below the boiler )
2) Is the water pipe on the bottom of your Aquaroll and not floating on the top.
If above are OK then shut all taps and then open the hot tap one furthest from the pump. You should then be getting gurgling noises but the water may take several minutes to come through while the boiler fills.
When water does come through (and it will ! ) open the cold tap and then repeat for all other taps and shower.

yeah the air does make a lot of noise, but you wait and then within about a minute or so the water will get pumped thr the pipes, so its a case of just leaving the cold tap open first til water comes thr and then doing the same with the hot tap which can take a bit longer

OK, you still have a problem.
If you are sure that the intake pipe is on the bottom of the water container there are other possibilities.
1. Do you have an on board tank? If so are the valves correctly positioned to draw water from either the tank or the Aquaroll?
2. Is the on board tank full?
3. Are the 'O' rings on the intake pipe in good condition and correctly seated?
4. Carefully check the intake housing for any cracks. Any damage here will mean that only air is sucked into the system.
If all of these fail to help then I suggest the pump diaphragm may have failed. Whether or not these can be repaired I know not and suggest you get professional help because I would think that new pumps are quite expensive.

Try and isolate the problem then work backwards connecting pipework as you go. This should isolate the problem area that needs further attention.
Try disconnecting you van pump feed and output pipes, connect a length of new pipe to the Whale pump inlet and outlet, just use a bucket or basin with some water in and place both pipe ends into it making a closed loop. If the pump has push-fit connectors so much the better, a metre or so of semi-rigid pipe each end will do the job.
Now you can see if the pump works in isolation, gradually add original pipework back starting at the input end and note when it fails. Should it be the pump, then replacement head kits are available, still not cheap but cheaper than the complete pump and easy to fit. Good luck.
I recenly replaced mine due to the one-way valves in the head failing, I noticed in Whale's blurb that these pump heads will need replacing every 5 years or so, luckily mine lested 9 years.

If not, remove filter and throw it away. You don’t really need one and they gradually clog up
