Is there someone here who is knowledgeable about automatic water pumps? by AussieInMauritius
My water pump is turning on too often (every 5-20 minutes) even if I am not using water. Is there anyone here who could check/repair/replace it for me? I would prefer someone who could actually do it. Referrals are hard to get hold of. Thanks.
@the_expert Pump was fine. It was leak in solar that caused pump to turn on every few minutes. Leak in toilet does not affect pump because it is from water going out. Read More

@Malgun9 I think that is one of the tests they did. They did tests to eliminate every reason except some kind of leak & the pump worked fine. I just hope the leak is not underground! Read More

A qualified man came out yesterday & did things to check pump - apparently pump & motor is ok. When they disconnected it from house hose the pump worked fine. There is a possible leak in my solar. So they are coming back today with a ladder ... Read More

@Fred It is the pump that takes water into the house & apparently easy to change - took a worker about 15 minutes last time. The problem is trying to find someone qualified who is available. Read More

You need a Wills & estate solicitor by the sounds of it. If there is a Will that needs to be followed. If there is no Will it does not have to be a unanimous decision to sell - all eligible beneficiaries need to get their share - which means ... Read More

Does anyone here fix or install water pumps to tanks ? by AussieInMauritius
One of my water pumps is not working. It is the pump that attaches to the water tank. Is there anyone that can give me a quote to fix it or replace it if needed. Thanks in advance.
LOL the emergency is over. A wonderful local worker was walking by that I knew. I asked him to have a look. He asked for a screw driver & WD40. He opened it, twirled something, put in some oil, closed it & it worked. It was like magic. I was ... Read More
