Help! Pump running at 1/4 speed
« on: April 05, 2013, 11:05:08 AM »
Wouldn't you know it? I have people here on Sunday so I tried to make things real slick.
Cleaned the priming pot and leaf basket, turned the pump back on and ohmygod!
I have a back up.  I may need the fish lady (a member) to have her guys install! :'( My bending over is difficult or i'd do it my self,

I rigged up a little giant cheapo pump and have it in the pond and a hose in my Skippy. It floes, but not as much as my Sequence that is in need of help. The Sequence Company has been excellent in their service!

ANY IDEAS?

Hubby is more mechanical, but his arthritis in his hands is bad.  He directs, and I do.
