Title: Alex G , what’s happening ?
Post by: P @ F on October 06, 2020, 08:19:41 pm
Pump went pop today , mind you it was about 15 years old  ;D
Only to find they are no longer stocked along with controllers and also microbore so I hear.

Can be gotten through Grippa now but I keep hearing about slow delivery which is no good to me , I just won’t use them I’m afraid !

Are you streamlining  stock to just poles now , I notice that water filtration stuff has gone too  ?

Sorry Lee , it’s all gone pear shaped with my fabricator, he just can’t be relied upon anymore, he can tig like a king but can’t see when people are trying to throw money at him .
I have had a couple of glitches with my heater with regard to coking up lately, I think it’s due to changing the orientation into a tower mounted system , all others supplied remain unaffected to date , I have decided to redesign the heater before too many go out !

I’m just about to start a new horizontal model to see what happens!

Do they sell pumps Tom ?
I was under the impression it was just water treatment?

Always keep a spare pump wired and fitted in van, problem sorted even when there isn't one, too organised preventing problems.

Pump arrived and fitted yesterday , and wow what a difference, it has highlighted just how shot my last one was !
