Plumbing - day four - the cause of it all
Was looking over the old pump and found why it stopped working. This is the splice where the electrical cable meets the leads coming from the pump body. The pump is designed to be immersed in water so these splices need to be waterproof. I used the specified kit -- there were some crimping fasteners and some heat-shrink tubing. Looks like the heat-shrink tubing only lasted a year and then let water into the connections. The crimping fasteners are nowhere to be found. Must have been quite the arc when it finally let loose...
