| Mar 1, 2023 at 19:31 | comment | added | DIY75 | Thank you so. to your knowledge there was no frost. Next test, there is no suction (it is clogged), you said when you prime it the water level stays the same? Maybe try using high pressure water hose to unclog it. | |

| Mar 1, 2023 at 19:03 | comment | added | Josie | @FreeMan noted and removed. I prime the pump, run it, no water flow. Then when I take off the top valve again, it's full of water, and at best a little bit of water flows out from the top where I primed it. In the past when I've opened up the top valve to prime the pump it's sort of sprayed everywhere, even after only a minute or so. | |

| Mar 1, 2023 at 18:34 | comment | added | FreeMan | "Is it worth it?" is an opinion based question that only you can answer and is, therefore, off-topic - please edit to remove that. Are you actually not getting any water flowing or is it just that the gauge is reading 0 PSI? If you've got water flowing, then I'd suspect the gauge. | |
