How long since you cleaned it? I would take it apart and check it. Every time one of mine seizes up I give it a soak in some vinegar and then let it run in the vinegar for an hour or so. Also make sure your air line and venturi isn't clogged with salt creep.

Squirt sone hot water down the air line.

sounds like your airline is plugged up. clean your airline out and give your pump a vinegar bath or just clear the salt buildup where your airline attaches at the pump with a small screwdiver or paperclip or whatever.

something is holding the impellar inside the pump from moving, pull it apart and soak in vinigar has always worked for me.
