Have you taken off the hoses and cleaned the filters. Dirt might be caught especially in the cold filter.

as joey said , it could be dirt in the filter, or the cold feed to the pump could be airlocked , if fitted correctly there should be isolation valves on the supplies to the pump, shut the valve and disconnect the hose , put a bucket or basin under the hose and open the valve until there is a good flow of water , this should clear any air , this is also a good time to check the filters. hope this helps.
