In the future if we do need to do anything on the pump, we don;t need to empty the whole line.  This will save time and water.  It was all looking good until I noticed that the pressure was dropping and then the pump stopped. We tightened all the connections, but when we tried switching it on again, the control unit showed a fault and it wouldn&#8217;t work.  Lesson: don&#8217;t try to repair pump on a Sunday when the shop is closed.  We just connected the pump direct to the power supply which will un-automate the retic, but at least I will have water.  I will just have to keep a tap open and walk up and down to the dam to switch it on then off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brad had the brilliant idea to put a ball valve into the upstream pipe from the pump.
