What pump are you using mate?

Try removing the outlet hose and giving the pump outlet a good suck..... sometimes takes a while but there can be air bubbles trapped in the system that the pump can't shift.

possibly the pump needs primed? take off the out let hose and pour water into the housing till it reaches the top. Fill water into your hose and pop back on. turn the pump on and see if it works.

i used to have to do this with pumps oin my old work.

also is there a bleed valve anywhere?
