Another Beckett Pump........ :(
 
Another Beckett pump started shorting out and flipping the breaker. What's
with these pumps? This one is epoxy filled and water still got in. What
else could it be? This the second one to do this. Suggestings anyone?

If it is still under warranty, contact the manufacturer and ask for a
refund. Then buy a different brand. Pondmasters have worked well for me.

=====================
Thanks George. We found the receipt which showed it was bought April of
last year but couldn't find the warranty papers from inside the box. I
believe it was guaranteed for a year. I think this leaker will be my last
Beckett pump. Usually they just stop working after a few years. They just
"die" and don't trip the safety switch shutting off everything behind the
house (or in the ponds out front. In this weather that can be deadly.
