The circulator pump (Silent Flo 5000) is not pumping water and it gets hot after a few minutes of power on. I suspect I have an airlock in the circulator system.
Well if that thing isn't working properly, then everything is going to be hosed.
What I'd do, with the power off, is disconnect the suction line and get the flow going thru the circ pump backwards to ensure that it's full of water and slide the suction line back on... yes you'll might get wet during this time.
Otherwise, if you still don't have flow, I'd replace the circ pump.
