I HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM LAST MONTH.  I TRIED ALL THE FIXES AND THEN 
DECIDED TO REMOVE PUMP AND GIVE IT A TRY.  COME TO FIND OUT THE PUMP HAD 
INGESTED A SMALL PIECE OF HOSE CLAMP AND HAD JAMMED THE PUMP.
SPOKE WITH JOHN HERVEY WITH SPECIAL T AUTO AND SET NEW BAFFLE PUMP AND 
NEW FILTER ON BOTTOM OF PUMP.  NO MORE PROBLEMS.  JOHN IS A GREAT  GUY 
TO KNOW AND HE IS THE MOST HELP FULL INDIVIDUAL.   I ALSO INSTALLED HIS 
NEW BAFFLE KIT GREAT PRODUCT
