Search for 'Bucket test' on this site & see if the raw water pump sucks down a 5 gallon bucket. You also may have chunks of impeller in your thermostat housing. It is not good to run without a t'stat. The manufacturer would have left them out (if it wasn't needed) as a cost reduction! ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin
