A:
Hey there, you have my brain pondering. Good news, here we go. Open the pump lid and add water with the hose. Turn the pump on. The water should move towards the motor, If it does, your pump o-ring might need lubing or replacement. In addition, there could be an air leak in the suction side of the pump. Make sure the pump basket is empty. If the water does not move and the motor is on, then it could be the impeller.
Well now, do knock it out. Four Stars.
Needing to run, we tried to hook you up. We only want the best.
