    Nothing happens, or you get no water flow (i.e. is the motor running dry)? If the motor is running, you can try priming the pump manually by filling the basket with water before turning it on.

    There's no water flow. My pump turns on and there's just nothing. No suction. Nothing.

    If I prime it, it almost DRINKS the water and it all dissapears.

    This happens with BOTH PUMPS and filters. I must be doing something wrong.
