What did you accomplish today?

[Sofa King Smoooth]

No such luck. Don't happen to have any other water pump. Worse comes to worse, one man bucket brigade.

Trying to help from afar. Dealt with water issues in the not forgettable past.My son was pulling the trigger on a spray gun sucking water out of my basement with a paint sprayer.

No hot water, flooded basement, water heater pilot/flame submerged. Sump pump broken.

Hardware store in town will let us buy one over the phone then they put it outside the store door for pick up.

Got new pump. New pump is bad, blowing water out the side of the housing.

Furnace on a platform is only a couple inches under water but still running. Will be blowing water through the fan shortly if rain and ground seepage doesnt slow or stop.

Supposed to be in 30s tonight and tomorrow night. Can't get new pump until tomorrow.

Time for a smoke and a cold shower.

you can seal the side of the housing with super glue duct tape and a bike inner tube.

If I may? Brand new. Warranty. Paid for new.

These are ducked up times man. If they even have another pump he can’t get it until tomorrow and if his fan for his furnace will be blowing water soon I would consider modifying the thing and just eating the cost so it doesn’t destroy my furnace just my .02 cents
I also agree that that pump should’ve come in 100% working order

Good idea. Would disassemble for inspection but was gonna try to return it tomorrow. I can wait overnight as long as the furnace fan is still above water.

But do agree, furnace value is higher than 2 pumps.

Looks like the qa/qc was on smoke break when this came through.

JB weld FTW. If it’s an emergency. But I guess I would just return it if it’s not an emergency

I am right there with you. Have the epoxy on stand by.

Shop vac taped to a garden hose? Not sure of the lift capability though...

We lost the hot water circuit circ pump today.
Fucker just up and quit - fortunately it was early enough for my heating guys to troubleshoot & replace.

Sux to lose heat or hot water in this weather.

Both bad. Furnace fried when dehumidifier drain plugged and flooded motherboard tray. The joys of home ownership.

Sorry for the rough start. Let's hope these are our biggest problems through this. And be glad we are home to deal with them.
