Have you run out of water?  My Omnitrolley used to be a b***h to get to prime again if I let it run dry.

I had a small stone stuck in the 3-way pipe fitting near the brush yesterday. That affected the water supply.

Could be an airlock, try turning the pump off, fill the inlet hose full with water then turn the pump back on.

All sorted. I had to take the hose connector of the hose that comes from the pump and lower it so if was lower than the pump and wait until the water was coming through. My neighbour sorted it. thanks for the replys :)
