John, Sounds like your spirits are still up. What a not so nice Christmas gift. Anyway, your description sounds exactly like what happened to mine this fall. Got up in the AM, no water. Went out to the pump house and pump was running and running and was very hot to the touch. Mine was still tight though, and also is PVC. My motor was mounted about 6 inches higher than the check valve. I'm not sure if that matters or not since the check valve is nothing more than a one way valve but the pump sitting higher than the check valve makes sense in my mind. Anyway, the impeller was shot in my pump motor so I simply went to Sears and bought another jet pump. (Faster fix, didn't have to wait on parts but more expensive naturally) Of course this happened when the stores were open, not on Christmas. Anyway, I mounted the new motor on top of the captive air tank this time and ran all new plumbing. It has been working flawlessly since the install. I surely hope yours is a simple fix and your special day isn't completely ruined by this event. Good luck, Merry Christmas and keep smiling!
