My Polaris booster pump has failed after the Texas freeze. It sounds like the motor is fine, but no pressure coming out. I'm guessing maybe the impeller broke?

Everything else on the pool is up and running, and hate to take anything apart, especially in an event like this, if you don't have the parts necessary to repair it.

If the pump is disconnected, do the 2 tubes need to somehow be capped for the pool o run? If the motor is running, but not pressure to the pool, and no cracked pipes, are there other potential culprits beyond a broken impeller?
 
If there are no leaks, just do not run the booster pump. The filter pump will flow some water through it.
