Pond pump

Well noticed last night when I got home the temperature on my pond was a lot higher than usual. Further investigation showed my sequence 10000 pump was hot and had stopped running, PANIC. The temperature probe for the pond is in my Nexus and the temperature was increasing as the static water in there got warmed from the sun.

A post on the Richdon BB and I had advise on somethings to check, even had the offer of a loan sequence 10000 pump from Dave (site admin) on here. When the pump cooled down later in the evening it started running again and thank fully is still running this morning.

Just a quick thank you to Dave for the telephone advise and laon offer, your a gent.

Ian,
Not a problem, hope it keeps running. More than likely something jammed the impeller. Sequence pumps are high flow, low pressure pumps, i,e they have not much guts when it comes to shifting muck,thats why in certain installations they have to have a strainer basket in front of them to catch any solids.
ramble over. :roll:
