My hand water pump does not work and was wondering if any one has a breakdown diagram . There is no suction and the base of the plunger has no seal, just want to know if the seal has fallen off and jammed at the bottom.

I've got the same problem. I pulled mine out and the rubber is in place. I always seem to have air in the system too. I go outside to the hot water system and seem to be able to bleed it all out then later the same things, air shooting out of my tap. Is there a common place where air could be leaking into my tank or system?
