    Where do I find the impeller housing for my water pump?
    Power went out. The shower was on and all the water was used. Power is back on. Pump will not turn on. I believe I have to prime the pump, but don't know where to find the "impeller housing."

    The impeller housing is where the water comes in and out of the pump. There should be a separate fitting on the pump by the water inlet (on top of impeller housing) you can remove the fitting to pour water in and help "prime" the pump. I find it is helpful to install a threaded ball valve here for future use. It may take several gallons of water (5 or more) to do so. Here is a link for diagram of a jet pump. Part 3A is where the pump is primed. You may need to replace the check valve also.
