We are NOT diy'ers at all. And generally are clueless on how to fix things.
So I throwing out a problem and
what we think may be wrong to see if you all think we are on the right
track.
We have a sump pump (ya I know expensive to run) that powers our waterfall.
It is only a year old with about 2 1/2 months 24/7 running time last summer
and about the same this summer. It is off during the winter.The waterfall
pump shut down and has in fact only a trickle of water coming down. At
first I thought the pump had just shut off maybe a circut was tripped or
something. I thought the trickle was just the top tier of the waterfall
draining down. Anyway, I checked the circuit breakers and moved the ones to
the waterfall back and forth essentially turned the pump off/on. The
waterfall than had a little more water coming down but no where near the
volume that is normal. Not even half the volume. I look at the pressurized
filter and it was not readying the usual 5 psi that it does when normal flow
is there. We are thinking something is obstructing the water between the
pump and filter would that be a good guess. Since the pump is fairly new and
and industrial pump we don't think the pump is the problem. What do you
think? Anything else we should look at?
Sorry if this seems like dumb questions, like I said we are clueless on
fixing things.
