My pump works and water comes out of SOME of the jets (but not at high pressure), but no water is being sucked into the main inlet, which is at the top of the water level in the hot tub.

Hi Bruce. It really sounds like perhaps your pump impellors and or circulation lines could be plugged up. Open the union to the pump intake to see if you have debris in the impellor.
Nigel, I opened the union to the pump, and the impellor is clear. Do you have any other thoughts?
Hi Bruce. Does your pump that supplies water flow to those jets have a low and hi speed?
It has just one speed. Everything worked find until about a year ago, when the suction seemed to diminish significantly.
Sounds like perhaps that suction line could be plugged up somewhere.
