If you pump is running and is not pumping water.
TURN IT OFF.
If it runs too long with out water in it, it will burn up the seals and could cause it to lock up.
It may just need to be primed.
If you are not sure how to do this, or unsure of how it works, it may be a good idea to call a pro in to help you.
If you can get a picture of the set up you have, someone may be able to help you get it primed and going again.
