powerrabbit Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Have been repairing my water supply today. Pump stopped working yesterday and only found out by running out of water as the system is more or less sealed. Electrics kept tripping out the cut-out switches (fitted instead of fuses) so tried to call out the firm that installed it in 1984 (called out for maintenance and repairs many times but not often since) and discovered that they have gone bust. (bugger!) Found a local firm who came out and tested everything and discovered that the pump was 'going to earth' so had to pull up the pump from the borehole, which is 186 feet deep, put in a new pump and electric cable and then sort out the electrics by doing a fair ammount of re-wiring and a new switchbox/controler in the well-head. Got it all sorted now but took from 12.30 to about just after 3.30 to get it all up and running again. Not looking forward to the bill for it all, just told the chap to be kind and keep it as lean as he can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wireless think took so time and costco in Florida didn't have much of a clue. I then suggested Toshiba and we had a three way conversation between Florida England and Scotland. they could hear me ok but I could not hear the English girl very well because of interference on the line, I knew from the start the English girl didn't have much of a clue so they she said she could dail in. Excellent i thought but we neede to get rid of Florida interference first. well she hung up and we all got cut off. I expected Tohiba England to call back but she did not. Anyway I called back and got a chap how had encountered the problem and it was something about security settings and only BT could fix. I phoned BT and a got a very helpful chap who dialled in and fixed me. Fingers crossed I will not loose the wireless connection again. Ws going to jet wash car but dad going in and out of garage with the linings for the shed doors so better keep the car out of his reach. A job for tomorrow.
