My pump is about 15 months old. During the last very cold winter we lost electricity and the pump drained. I remember last year I filled the water container one time and the pump started immediately. I was impressed. This year is just the opposite. I have been trying to load water in the water container for 2 days. I pour water in and the water drains out the suction hose into the pond. I have no time to screw on the clear plastic top. By the time I get the top on the container it is half empty so suction isn't established and the pump has no water to pump.
I thought maybe there was a small hole in the hose. I took sections off the hose and reduced its length by 75%. now the hose is about 8 feet long. I examined the hose coupling and the remaining hose carefully and found no holes.
I must be missing something obvious.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
