I definitely have a roof runoff issue. The water runs off the roof and hits the back of the pump motor. To remedy this I have installed a 12' section of gutter over the equipment as well as I will be putting a motor cover on the new motor. The previous 2 motor died from bearing failure.
By the way I bought the new replacement motor and impeller kit with seals on E-Bay for $288.00 and with all the help you guys have given me it should be a piece of cake and I save $300.00 over the last replacement. So thank you all!
