I pulled the power head and checked the impeller, everything looks good. I put it back together and it is still not pumping water through the head. i took the water flush screw out on the side and started it up and water was pouring out of there so i know the pump is pumping. Does this motor have a thermostat? I blew out all the ports on the powerhead out when i had it off. Getting very frustrated.

Sounds like a restriction somewhere. and if memory serves me right it doesn't have a T-Stat.

try to take weed eater line and see if you can push it all the way through, might just have a little critter in there somewhere.
