First time we used pump it pulled water and worked fine. Tried it today could not get it to pull water. Let it cool down for an hour still no water

Pump has to be primed, sometimes multiple times depending on length of intake hose. Air in the intake line will "unprime" it and you will need to prime it until all air is out, then should pump fine.

Verify your intake house is tightened.Also check the gasket in the house intake at the pump end did not fall out.

Exactly the same for us. We used it once and it was great, tried it again last weekend and it did nothing. We checked everything and spent hours on this. We are hoping to return it.

I would say you have a defective pump. I so far never had that happen to me.

Yes I had the same problem. The first time I tried to brew, only two cups went through and the coffee was cold. Tried once more holding the reservoir and no water would go through. Packed it up and sent it back after 2 tries.

We had the same problem. Tried to contact the manufacturer and they were no help whatsoever . We were told there is no warentee on the pump at all. It was a very poor product.

Mine took a little while for the pump to prime and for the water to come out the first time. I, too, almost sent it back, but was very glad I didn't. Make sure that your water tank is seated all the way down into the holding area. Pull it up and push it back down a couple of times to make sure.

Make sure you turn the water on first then pull the spout down. If that does not work I have the slightest idea.

It hasn't happened to me, but I would guess that the pump will continue to run "dry". Probably not a big deal for short periods of time, but could accelerate the wear on the pump.

Our pump has worked great. We only had a problem with it once. We were filling up water balloons and i noticed the pump was getting hard to push and pump but it turned out to be screwed on incorrectly and it was pushing the straw too far down that it was hitting the bottom of the pump. After taking it off and put it back on correctly, it worked without a problem.

You may need to adjust the flow switch on the pump - it may be at the lowest setting and you'll need to move it up. Also make sure everything is lined up properly so that the water can flow to the top. Good luck!

It should start pumping right away. It's possible that the tubing on the white casing that holds the pump is not lined up with the hole that water is supposed to spout out of. Also check the lever on the side of the actual pump, this controls the low/high setting. Hopefully that works, otherwise you might have to return it. One other thing to try is to make sure you have a lot of water in there, maybe it doesn't have enough to pump.

I don't have an answer for you on that one. I didn't try what you did. The pump worked fine, we are using it as a spare.

I couldn't even get mine to start but I hope it was because I didn't have the required flow and pressure. I'll find out in the spring when I go back and try again. So far I'm not really impressed. Don't hesitate if it doesn't return go for a return

We had bad luck with this pump, it doesn't work very well if it rains hard it doesn't work at all. We have to press on it by hand to make it operate. We use it for our boat.

I was having trouble getting mine to start also. I pulled once or twice and then it would get REALLY hard to pull. I didn't realize this was caused by pressure building in the pump. I have since began starting the washer by simultaneously aiming the nozzle in a safe direction, squeezing the trigger to relieve the pressure, and pulling the cord. This may not be the safest method, but now it starts on the first pull and that pull is VERY easy.

Make sure the impeller and magnet are properly seated in position. Also check the valve that directs the water flow - spin it to a few different directions to ensure you have water flow.

it is not pulling in water because it has to be filled by water before the pump can work properly. the blue button is there so you can fill the filter with water manually and then turn it on. you have to attach the filter and then start pushing on the blue button fast and multiple times, it is like a manual pump, then when water starts flowing in the filter and fills it up you can turn the filter on.
