CHeck the seals around the impeller housing. There are 2 "O" ring that needs to be replaced. One goes on the "Pump". The smalller one, the other around the stainless steel plate. if there is leaks or lack of seal, you may not get enough or any water. It's suction so it may be sucking air instead of water. if you'r on the hose, the hose preassure may get you the water, but once you no longer providing external force the impeller just sucking air.

Have a low water intake on a Bravo 1 with the correct flush kit - didnt work so took off the pipe and put the hose straight onto the water pump it was fine.
Do you think I might have a leaky pump - o rings all changed?
