So I just purchased a house, it has an inground indoor pool. I need to replace/fix the pump (I believe) due to the fact that I can't maintain prime ( I think) on the pump that's there now.
The pool is this shape here :

My question is what would you recommend ? is there something I can try/test/check first before I go spending all this money on replacing a pump? I had it running for about 12 hours straight when I first moved in, it was moving the water like crazy and now I can't get it to keep prime, I can force it to push water to the sandbag and down the washback if I put my hose and a 1 1/2 pvc on the skimmer (removing the mesh) but I can't get it to push water itself...
This is a PAINT photo (best I could do) of my setup, and would be more than willing to answer other questions.

Any tips/advice would be appreciated.
Currently I have this pump (image :http://i60.tinypic.com/2uq2gs3.jpg)
I personally can't find anything on this, however it's a 4HP pump.
