Moved water pump...now it's acting strange!
OK....I have the Shur-flo variable speed 5.7 pump, have had it for many year's now. The location of the pump was in such a confined space(under the vanity sink and it has leaked before making repairs ...

OK....I feel pretty dumb! After getting everyone's idea's here, I decided I'd pull it back apart, lower it back down to floor level, put a check valve in I had laying around and give it a try. Make a long story short, it worked better, no dry running but after pumping water and shutting down a faucet, 15 seconds later it would run real slow, then stop, then real slow then stop. I thought to myself, "can I live with that"? I decided No, so as I was preparing to re-install it in it's original location, (this is the dumb part), I checked my "black tank" flush valve that is in the same location as the pump was at first. I must have turned on the flush to relieve pressure when I first moved the pump. I close the valve completely, thanking goodness that I didn't start taking it all apart again....and low and behold, it's back to working perfectly in its NEW location and NO leaks. Thanks everyone!!!
