Sorry it took so long to update. So any air leaks that I may have had have been addressed. A little bit of Petrolium Jelly on the seal fixed it right up. However my pump is still having problems kicking over. I'm not sure if I should open a new thread but here are my symptoms.

- Pump starts to hum for 3 seconds, then clicks off
- It attempts this every 20 seconds until it starts up (Sometimes it doesn't start, and the timer goes into offline mode)

I've taken the back off the pump and looked at my connections. There was a little bit of corrosion on the "V" like looking contacts so I grabbed some 200grit fine sandpaper and attempted to clean it off. I got some metal to shine through and thought all was well. It started up fine for 2 days then this morning it did it again (took about 7 tries to start up). Water is no longer leaking from the skimmer and the little propeller in the pump (forgot the name) spins quite easily by hand.

I'm going to get a file after work and attempt to clean off the contacts again but had a few questions

1. What sort of file should I be looking for? Any specific requirements?
2. Anything else I could be checking? Once the thing spins up it runs like a champ. It's just getting the thing to kick over.
