Turned on the pump this morning, fired right up, working, no problem. Went out by pool this afternoon about 2:00, still working, no problem. Went out to get water sample just now, and pump is still on, humming away, making normal noises, zero water movement in pool or skimmer. Opened strainer basket, water is very hot, basket filled only about halfway. Turned off pump, let it sit a few minutes, verified that there's plenty of water in the pool , turned pump back on, pump comes on fine but still no water movement. Something in the impeller? I stuck my fingers into the water inlet as far as I could but can't touch anything. Tried inserting a hook on end of a clothes hanger, it goes in about 4-5 inches and then stops--I figure that's the impeller, but I can't get anything to move past that.

Suggestions?
