storms came thru couple Thursday night. lights went off. pump quit and wouldnt work. took it apart and found impeller cracked, but worse, nose piece that hold the black nib on the impeller shaft had a piece cracked off.... why the pump wouldnt work. it is a pondmaster, find a site, ordered the part... next Tuesday or Wednesday. water going green, fish ****ed I am not feeding them began attacking the lilies again. I took some marine epoxy, the stuff comes in a tube, cut off enough, roll the stuff around to blend the two parts, apply to stop leaks, is waterproof. well I used this to build up the missing piece, put the black nib in it, assembled the whole works waited 2 hours for it to harden and it has been working fine for the last 12 hours or so. all it has to do is hold up until the parts arrive. the water is clear already..... hoo haa. I just love my pond at night with the light shining under the lily and the fish doing their slow pirouettes (sp?) while side lit, especially the long finned koi. Ingrid KUDOS!, Ingrid and well done! I can imagine the fish as I am sure there are used to being pampered by you! LOL I am glad you were able to get it all fixed up and running again. Your repair will probably last all season too! :-) Dale |
