Just a guess, but I’d say the reason for the water pump mounted high in the tower is due to the bailer function of the water pump. Might have been an easier way of working out the bailer plumbing issues. I have had only one Scott Atwater bailer motor and got it to draw water on its own after replacing the grommet in the pump assembly and disabling the bailer pump. Seems like I plugged a small hole in the bailer pump housing, memory fails me. As stated before, the impeller has to be free from any binding. At the time, I remember thinking the pump housing water outlet is just backwards of what would be the logical position for the the impeller to direct the water up the tube to the powerhead.
