I have a loop with a blue line had pump that I am trying to fire up. The first two times, the pump started beautifully but it blew loose some of the return parts in the tank (pressure fitted PVC) and my tank looked a bit like a snow globe.
A fixed the returns but third time around my blue is only humming quietly and not pumping water. Do you think I broke the impeller? How to determine?
 
If it sucked up sand it may be jammed....fingers crossed.

The only way to know is ro disassemble and look....don't keep trying to get it to run....if there is debris inside it might start up and grind away....
