Our pond pump stopped working towards the end of last autumn. As it was cold and I don't usually run the pump through the winter I left it.
Took it out last night to let everything dry off.
Tried this morning and it ran OK in the dry but the RCD cut out within about two or three seconds of trying to run it in the water.
Any suggestions? New pump time?
Thanks
Steve

I would mate....despite having an RCD, it's far too risky playing with water and electricity.

I was convinced that the pump wasn't that old, but when I found the guarantee paperwork I discovered I'd bought it in 2001! So it doesn't owe me a lot and has been replaced.
Thanks for the comments

I'd agree with Andy. Glad to hear you use an RCD Steve, it sounds like its trying to tell you something  |

I'd agree with Andy. Glad to hear you use an RCD Steve, it sounds like its trying to tell you something I don't just use them, I collect them! i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/wink.gif One of my other interests is being in a barn dance band. If you saw some of the venues I've played, you'd me convinced about RCDs as well! S |
