Re: Wall Fitting broke geez.
The low pressure could very well be junk tangled in the impeller. Someone recently had that problem. As for the fitting, have to think on that but is it above or below the waterline? I'm not familiar with these hookups.

Re: Wall Fitting broke geez.
Thanks Al,
It's about 5" below the water line. I'm going to drain the water so I can get to it and attemp to remove the old wall fitting. Hopefully I can. Once thats done I'll have a try at replacing the impeller. Do they normally glue those wall fittings it sure is stick in there...

I don't know about those fittings. As for the impeller, no need to replace it. Make sure it can't come on and reach in through the inlet hole at the bottom of the pump basket chamber and see if you feel anything tangled in it. If you do you can use a hooked wire or something like that to pull the stuff out. Can't emphasize it enough to make sure it cannot come on from a timer or someone throwing a switch accidentally.

Trust me I shut the pumps down via the main power switch. I was not aware the booster pump had a basket chamber. Its got a Volute but I dont see a basket chamber.

UPDATE: I was able to get the broke piece of the UWF out of the return by chipping away at it with a screw driver and hammer being careful not to damage the threads of the return line. I did have to lower the water line so I could get to it. I also installed a new impeller and seal on the boster pump and BAM it came back to life what a difference
Re: Wall Fitting broke geez.
COOL :cool:
I was debating whether to tell you to attack it with a screwdriver or not:o
Re: Wall Fitting broke geez.
Cool too. I didn't catch the thing about a booster pump. Glad all is well again.
