Haddy folks,
The other night we had a hard freeze. 19 deg I think. In spite of insulation some PCV pipes burst, but no big deal.
The real problem is the head on the Meyers HR (50S I think) burst pretty bad half way around the base of the neck where the well feeds into the pump. NEVER thought that woud happen. I don't know what time of the night (or morn) this happedened. But at 7AM the pump motor was running (dry). No smell of burning and the motor was cool to the touch. I'm wondering if it would be alright to just replace the pump head , impeler, etc. or if it would be best to just replace the pump. And if Myers is really the way to go. Any thoughts?
BTW, I did try to remove the head. Removed the 4 bolts and the head wouldn't budge. Tried to separate the head from the motor with a flat screw driver. It only seperated enough to brake the head loose. But the head would not remove from the motor, it will only spin. Have to admit I'm out of my league here. So if the head and guts [can] be replaced I could sure use some help here too.
Thanks. You guys have a great day.
Charlie
