Pump trouble!!!

God I've had a right game today trying to get my pump to work. Got to my first job then realised that there was still some ice in pipes etc. So waits an hour or so check pipes again and di which were ok.
The pump works but no water comes out. Any ideas?

I had trouble this morning too..........I haven't had an issue in the past but recently I'm getting water delivered in spits and spurts I assumed an airlock as my system has been prone to them but I find an airlock quite easy to overcome by turning the pressure up and blowing it through.
Then I only seemed to struggle getting water through when the pole was extended to 3rd floor? Is this a sign the pumps or battery have not got the umph anymore to deliver the water too high?
Anyone?

that sounds like power problem if its a height.the pump is not able to build up pressure could be battery or the pump but I would think battery.

If you have a pump controller with pressure setting, then you may need to increase the cutoff pressure.
