Thank you for the help and suggestions. I do know that the strainer you both have used would indeed have been the "correct" part for me to buy. I made the mistake of looking at Amazon's "people who have purchased "this" also often purchase "this"" below the pump that I ordered. I also liked how the strainer I purchased would fit in the small compartment, particularly the fact that the inlet hose could be plumbed in at any orientation by turning the strainer. But, it didn't work, and will be going in the trash. (I did compare the inlet "snap" part of both the strainer and the 90 elbow, and they certainly look the same. But, something about that strainer just wasn't going to work. There is no O ring under the clear lid, that lid screws onto 3-4 rounds of threads, VERY tightly, so I certainly don't think air was getting in there. At any rate, doesn't matter know, as it will find it's way to the trash).
Plumbing issues should be good to go. The only problem now is the first time I turn on the pump this weekend when camping. Reason being..... I simply cannot get my wife to understand that the reason that the pump was replaced was due to flow issues, and had NOTHING to do with noise. After I had installed the new pump two nights ago and was putting tools back in the garage, she asked me if it fixed the problem, I said yes, and she commented that it will be nice to not have it be so loud now. No comment from me.......
