i just got the pump in the mail today and gave it a shot.
this thing barely has any suction at all...
i had the faucet on full blast, hot and cold, and it barely had enough suction to sloooowly lift up the tiniest debris from my gravel.
what could be the problem?
i didn't even try to refil the tank w/ the hose yet. i think i'm going to just wait till saturday when i have time to troubleshoot if something goes wrong.
also, do you have to drain the hose before you store it?
