    I just went through a slightly similar problem with the low flow/no pressure problem. My housing was cracked on the pump basket and sucking in air. I wasn't able to see the water squirt out when shutting down due to the low pressure. Also the crack was at the very bottom.

    RICK, welcome to the forum!!, you may have a clogged impeller or as Imnharris points out, a cracked pump housing. (there are a couple of other things, but they are much rarer). Check the lid of the housing for air bubbles - if you have air it will mean 1 thing, if not another.
