I actually enjoy plumbing, done it so many times it comes easy to me. If I still lived in your neck of the woods I'd be happy to help but the drive would be a killer now. Sorry.

bad pump... being a centrifugal pump it needs a spinning impellar and a tight tolerance wear ring (or cover) that is a couple thousandths in gap to provide pressure. Otherwise if the gap is too large between the impellar and wear ring then it will just slosh water around and create heat. Becareful as this may wear out the mechanical seal prematurely! Check the clearances inside the pump housing... post pics to help!
