Bodge Failure...

We have a garden pond with a number of Koi, a legacy from one of my son's passing fads...
Koi produce a lot of sh*t so a pond filter is needed, and thus a pond pump.
The pump has been running slow of late, I have stripped it down and cleared it on a 3 weekly basis, until today, when it stopped.

Repeating the cleaning cycle achieved nothing, so I pulled the impeller off to get at the motor.
Top bearing totally shot, corroded.

So, £159.00 later.....a new pump.
So, Bodge Failure!
