Glad to hear. And yes I would have went straight for the impeller then been scratching my head and probably gone for the thermostat next.

As per Hewesfisher's comment, I ran a 20lb test piece of line into the outflow tube/hole, even just a little ways. Fired it up, and out came the water. :cheers: :cheers:
Nice to have it cost me anything. Woo Hoo!
So glad to hear it Chris! Always try the easy stuff first. [thumbsup]
