Hook a long section of tubing to the inlet port of the pump. Connect a short section of tubing to the outlet port of the pump. Fill the inlet tube completely with water. Some water will just flow through the pump out the outlet port, so try to prevent that. Start up the PSU and that will start up the pump.

Three scenarios: (1) pump doesn't start, which means the pump motor is completely dead, (2) pump starts but it is not pumping water rapidly, which means that there can be some bubble in the pump, or something may be defective, (3) pumpstarts up and water squirts out the outlet port rapidly with high pressure.

If it is scenario number 3, then celebrate because your pump is alive and well.

Stay focused and think only positive thoughts.
