Thanks for the AC pump responses. It made me research further and I may be able to improve my installation and fix my problem. In 2014, I mounted the pump that came with the 16000 Webastco vertically with the pump under the motor and it was a pain to prime but worked until this year.
March pumps states that my method of mounting the pump can cause an air bubble to get caught right where the magnetic coupler sits. They prefer the pump to be horizontal and if mounted vertically, to have the pump above the motor so any air bubble is on the other end. I'll see if I can correct my mounting setup before ordering a new pump.
