Sounds like you may need a new pump. I suppose you could take it out and test it just to be sure, but it looks like you have pretty much eliminated the other possibilities.

I had a small crack in the plastic crown on top of the pump that let air nix the suction. Replaced it and all worked well. Looking at the crack it looked more like a scratch. Good luck with your issue.

Not sure what you mean but if there is any air getting in due to a crack or a separation in/at the filter bowl, the pump is going to pump air, not water. New bowls are easy to find on Amazon. They come with a screen and a gasket. Real easy if that's what it is. TT

And, if needed, you can get a complete filter for not much more than just the strainer bowl.

Could have had a little water left in it which froze up last winter, since you havent been using it. Probably it's toast, but it wouldn't hurt to take the pump apart, clean everything up and inspect,
then if you like what you see put it back together and bench test it with a suction line and a water jug. . Sometimes you get lucky, and at worst you learn something for the next time someone has a problem.

Even if you use air to winterize, it is good to run the pump for a little after draining the tank to empty any remaining water out of the pump if you are not going to be using the winterizing valve to pump RV antifreeze through the system.

Yup, looks like I will yank the pump. Just to clarify everything, I thoroughly winterized everything last fall with rv antifreeze as I have been for 10+ years. This spring dewinterized the entire system and everything worked wonderfully. A few days ago when I decided to drain everything just to rinse everything out (and I actually ran the pump prior to and it worked fine). When I say drain everthing, I mean fresh water tank, hot water heater, low point drains, etc. When I refilled fresh tank to fill hot water tank and fill lines, the pump would not prime as usual. Prob just a coincidence of the pump malfunction. Thanks all for your input. jpp

If the motor is spinning.. a new "head" can be had on the big A.. Like $17 last time I looked. 9 screws and it's changed, pay attention to screw length, they are not all the same.
