The Max-Flo should work, but may take a few attempts to fill your suction line. If you have a main drain, shut it off and pull only from the skimmer. Remove the pump lid, fill with water, turn it on briefly, then it off, then refill and turn on the pump again. Do that 2-3 times and hopefully you'll get the water to pull on its own. If not let us know.
Also make sure you added pool lube to the lid O-ring.
