Thanks Ted...

Temps up in the mid 40s today, so got a chance to check things out. Not good but better than it could have been.

Main pump housing slightly split--replacing anyway, so no worries.

Booster pump and all the PVC plumbing looks intact.

But it was the filter that took the hit. Triton II 140 has big split in it. Damn, I know better than to let these things happen. Yes, horrible timing on the motor, but I should have uncapped all the closures and opened all the drain plugs. So add a new filter to the money already spent on pump. Add to that the fact that I did repair work on filter last summer and changed out all the gravel and sand.

The only thing keeping me from punching a wall is the fact that I should be able to salvage enough of the gravel and sand to fill new filter and the fact that I bought this filter one year used for 100 bucks 8 years ago. I wont go back with that big of a filter (only got it because it was such a deal), so I can probably get into the Triton II 60 for 4 bills shipped.

Oh well, in this area with the unusual arctic blast, not the end of the world. I know of many people with actual pipes bursting in house causing way more damage than I am facing. Just would rather be spending $400 on something else...guess this should be reposted in the lessons learned section!!!

Take care all...Paul
