Shurflow pump problem UPDATE

Yesterday the water pump was working fine until we ran out of water. So I added water and the pump runs but doesn't produce water. It looks like there's no water in the strainer either. What's the problem?
  • Turn pump on
    Open nearest faucet Cold Side and let pump run

    It should prime when it has a place to discharge to

    Ok I'll give it a try. Odd that I've run out of water many times and never had a problem
  • you need to prome the pump. fill the strainer run it till it picks up the water.
