    The pump isn't too small... it maybe bad, have someone who knows what they're doing check it out for you.

    chances are

    It is not the pump. The age of the tank is an important piece of info. The reason I say this is that the Amtrol Boilermates have a coil that is much like a tankless boiler coil. It does not have a smooth surface and because of that it tends to pick up a lot of sediment. As water is heated the elements in water come out of solution and will adhere to the coil surface. This will eventually insulate the coil. This will cause the exact symptoms you are talking about. If your coil is beginning to "plug" it will get worse.
