First, by you picture, you have it running in a bucket that I guess is fill with non salt water.
If i am wrong please reply.
 
I also have a BM curve 5. The plastic plate with holes have a small parte with no holes. this no holes part must be mounted/rotated directly above the pump out stream direction.

Yes. You are right. Was not working in sump. Took it out cleaned. Trying in pail first.
 
Make sure there is no salt build up in the Venturi and hose that stopped mine from working..

You are right. Once it happened to me, not stop from working but degraded substancialy.
