Two pump failures in this short of timeframe may just be coincidence but it's now the point where I'm skeptical. If you have a third pump fail on you then I'll know it's not coincidence.
Who did the actual plumbing on your system, may I ask?

I have seen the setup a few times but i never paid attention to how it was all plumped. I aggree that something is not quite right with this. If you can get some pics of everything from the pump feed in the tank to the pump and then the lines coming into the tank that may help some.
