Why is my motor not pumping water

Hello! I just bought a new motor because the last one I have was all rusted out. I have been useing this new motor for about two weeks now but a couple of days ago it stopped pumping water. When I turn the motor on it seems like it is trying to suck the water but no what is coming from the pvc pipes that connect to the motor. So I am wanting to know what might be the issue.

There are a few reasons why the pool pump would not pull any water. There could be a clog in the line. The impeller could be clogged. There could also be a suction side air leak.

This video covers several reasons why you might have some issues with water flow.
