My hubby did it. The first pump just could not push the water at all, it goes up about 8 feet. When he gets home we will tear it down again. However, you are welcome to come over anytime you like... It is beautiful out here and if you like hiking, I can take you out...

However, if there is restriction on the intake side, then indeed, you are pushing the pump beyond it's limits and risking failure. In short, pumps push, they don't suck. 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?
