I double checked all connections and even opened up the manifold to see if all looked well in there. The pump runs, but does not pump water. Help!

Just pushing in the input tube and output tube until they stop are not good enough. I had to unscrew the input and output covers and push the tubes through about 3-4 mm further. Then screw the covers on again.
