Turn the pump on full tilt should sort it out .

Then never let the containers run dry always switch when their is a few inches left in the bottom . Mike

Turn the pump on and then lay the pole on the ground till it starts working.

......but if the guy has run it dry ain't it advisable to put finger in hose connector to pump air lock out!

But if you run a barrel dry then when you put a fresh un on you need to get air out by switching on and sticking a finger in to bleed out the air.  :o

No. If you disconnect the hose from the pump and run on high power for a few seconds then that does the job. You will see the the water sputtering and then flow fast.
I have a non-return valve and I have to do this on each barrel change. I never run dry but still have to do this.
