Help?

Look on top if the impeller housing and find a small plug. Shut the pump off and unscrew the plug. If your check valve's working you should be able to fill the housing up to overflowing. Turn the pump back on and you should be pumping water. If you can't fill the impeller housing t6hen you have a faulty check valve and it will have to be replaced. Good luck, Tom
