get very thin piece of wire and poke it up the outlets, they often get blocked with a bit of salt,
check thermostat,
then drop the l/u and inspect impeller and key,

Hi Chris
Do you have a water pressure gauge?
and what is the temp gauge sitting at?
You should have a good stream of water from the tell tale.
Like Maxim says looks like your gonna be busy this week.
