Simply Koi and More Koi

Im hoping someone could help me.

I turned off my pump earlier for a clean and to connect it up to a my static k1 vortex and since doing that it has stopped working. Is anyone on here near Colchester that could come and have a look for me please? i dont want to replace the pump to find that its electrical. Ill pay fuel and supply food for anyone able to give me a hand.

Thanks

Matt,

What pump is it?????

blagdon torrent 10500 jobbie cant wait till i do the new pond now

OK not sure on the pump is there anywhere you can unscrew to see if the pump is running (remembering to do this in the off position)

Is the pump getting warm

Have you tried giving it a bit of a tap to see if its just stuck

cheers mate

pumps not warm and u can here it if you take it out the water if its running but i hear nothing

Give it a bang i wonder if its just got some debris stuck in it,can you give it a tap when its running

problem is it doesnt seem to be running. i cleaned it up and all looks clean.

When i turn the power on its as if nothing is happening at all.

quiet as quiet can be, just wish my daughter was the same

I take it you haven't another pump you can use for now.

When you say you have cleaned this one up did you take it apart what did you do

Not got a spare : (

Andy may have one hiding somewhere so im going to buz him when the little one calms down a little.

I took apart the base and cleaned the rotor and casing to try and get it to work but no joy : (

To make matters worse I cant get my nexus into the garden ARRRRRRR

Sounds like its not going to go lets hope Andy has one i have a spare somewhere but i think it about 1500gph will that help

the one thats died is 2050 gph so anything slightly less would be perfect.

Cheers Gazza. Ill give Andy a buz and let you know.

OK i will pop out and have a look now just let me know

cheers Mate. Andy is popping round tomorrow, Im hoping it will work. I may try and bribe him to help me get the nexus in as well

Lucky guy

I just had the spare pump out to make sure it goes and its 7500lt so around 1700 gallons if you need it your more than welcome to borrow it its a submersible one that you can clip flexible hose onto its the same as a Aquasmax.

Is there fish in the system and will they be OK till tomorrow

Why wont the Nexus fit

yep a few nice jap koi in there so am a little worried. It will have to be ok for 1 day.

I cant get the 200 through the gate at side and if i could the well would be in the way. only option is to lift it over my hedge from my neighbours garden
