Pump start-up problem

Well, they finally made it out two days ago, and when I came home,
I had a new motor. Unfortunately, they didn't try and diagnose the
problem, they just replaced it. Oh well - just an infant failure, I guess.

Interesting thing, though - the new motor is a two-speed. Right now,
it's not wired up for two-speed operation, but after surfing around a bit,
I've found out how to do it, so I think I'll just have to try it out. I do
have a question about two-speed motors, though, but I'll start a new
thread for that...

Thanks again,

Steve

Wow, nice they gave you a 2 speed. Significant cost difference between single and two. Whoever did this I'd write them a note of thanks....if you don't get a bill. Good to hear a story with a happy ending. And yes, infant mortality is a well known engineering term.
