Naturally it occurs on Mother's Day weekend.
This has happened before, but rare.  I used the plumbers helper rubber device like the pond experts use. I blew it apart!
Just have areation going now >:(-
Any advice?

Pump has gotta be sucking air from somewhere Jerry.  Is your backup pump as large as your main one?  If not maybe the added volume is making a small leak show up.  Hope you figure it out soon.

The old pump was dead :'(  It may be under warranty.  I have a mail into Sequence.  Their products are excellent and I have always sone well with them.
Now is the moment of "truth" let's see how they respond.

Let me know thier response please.  Am considering thier products for the pond rebuild here this summer.  Tearing out a 1500 gal. (with 2 pools), and a 2000 gal pond, replacing them with a larger koi pond and an area I can use for plants.  Have heard that many of thier pumps are quite efficient with high volume.
