Are you sure you had all the air out of your lines and the water heater was full at the time the pump wouldn't shut off?
When you had the winterizing valve open and it wouldn't suck did you have a faucet on? There has to be someplace for the water to go.
It sounds to me like your pump is still good since you were able to get good pressure
Definitely had the air out. Even hooked up city water to run all taps and ensure the heater was full.
Valve was a good question actually...I may not have thought of that. May have to re-check that.
Yeah...I just don't know enough about plumbing to know if that would be expected or not (to pump ok with the tank full where gravity kind of helps, as opposed to suck from a bucket.)
