I used a Deltec MCE300 for awhile. I didn't seem to have any issues getting all the air out of the line. I just plugged the air intake hose completely with my finger and after 30 - 60 seconds it would pull all the air out of the system.

Maybe the pump is going and there is not enough pressure to pull the water through? You had the same results with your other pump. Good luck.
