Default On the problem of having the pump under 7' of water

Our pump, 13+ years old, just died. It is in the bottom of the 'deep
well' and 7' under the now-cool-to-cold water. I have to go down to
pull it. I will replace it with an out of water pump.

Bummer.

Jim

Of course that was bound to happen when it was cold... not when the water
was 75F and up, right? ~ jan

Well, I did it. Got in the pond, undid the slip connection on the
pipe and pulled out the pump. I haven't the time to do the install of
the new pump, so the berm ponds are on their own for a bit. The main
pond has the toilet valve to regulate new water.

It was cold in there!
