Pump finally died
My old Beckett pump that ran the 2000g pond finally gasped it's last this
afternoon. It ran for 7 to 8 months for 10 years. No water leaked into it this time. There's a dead spot my husband said so the impeller wont turn unless helped. That wont work when it's in a basked under almost 4' of water. So....... we have to replace it. This time I'm getting something epoxy filled. -- RM....
