    The hose is probably coming off due to the hot water. Sounds like it ain't sucking up water could be

    Dry well
    Bad foot valve
    leak in suction line
    leak at the pump seal ( very common with that pump )
    plugged venturi
    pump wet end is worn out or something done broke in there ( common with sears pumps also)

    If you must replace the pump get a Goulds or F&W or anything for that matter that ain't made of plastic.

    If you want mother in law to go away, delay pump or intake repair longer.

    Its not an impossibly bad pump. But you need to give it water without any air included in the feed.
