What has made you Angry Today???????

Water leaking from the tell tale hole is about the only way mate. It's just the seal that go on them. Impeller might wear out on a really old one but unlikely.

The tell tale hole is in the neck of the pump sorry if behind the pulley. Hard to see when it's all in place.

Darrens was so bad it was a jet stream coming out and very visible. With mine I originally thought it was just a leaky gasket so pulled it off and could make it the water mark coming from the weep hole so wo

What's yours doing?

Thanks mate.
Mines doing nothing, working fine. I have the JPC one too. Was just curious how it all unfolded.

Just curious what were the initial symptoms of the failing pumps in Tassie ?? Noise ? Lack of cooling ?

Mine dumped its coolant all over the road mate. It had got a little hot heading into town for a shower. I came out of the shower at 6pm at the local pool and there was coolant all over the carpark. Ended up pulling the radiator out in the carpark then and there looking for a leak. cleaned the radiator and pressure checked it for a leak at the pool then checked hoses. Refitted the rad and filled with water and started the car and it was pissing out the breather of the water pump. Was bloody average. I grabbed a room at the pub with the family for the night.

Matty's leaked to failure on the way back to camp that night!! What are the chances! Same presentation. I replaced mine in the wash bay next to the mechanics and then matty did his on the beach that afternoon when we fgot back to him. We then packed up camp and dashed to the next location and caught the punt ferry across the Pieman river by 1 minute! Big Day.

My evaporative cooler crapped itself last night

Upside is that we're in Bendigo this weekend for soccer

Once we finally get this extension started we will be putting in ducted refrig a/c. I have had evap in my last three houses and it just doesn't cut it when the humid heat comes through. Which seems to be more often these days.

We have ducted reverse cycle, it was in the house before we bought it.
It is seriously the best thing ever! We don't use it very often but when we do it is so good.

I think the motor may have seized. Will get up there to see what's going on when we get back home.

Hopefully its the belt. Easy fix for you mate.

Personally I love our evap, wouldn't swap it for anything. When needed can leave it on all night , no issues. Try doing that with fridge units, wake up with a dry cough...
Yeah on a few humid days per year in Melbourne its not that good... But it runs on bugger all power too.

I'm with you Hodge happy with the evaporative. Have run it continually for days and won't cost you a fortune. We also have a split system which works well in the main living area but does nothing for our bedrooms. Only used it twice.

Got back from Bendigo around 2 and after unloading the car I jumped up to have a better look. You won't believe it. The fan had slipped off the shaft. No belts Hodge direct drive off the motor.

Made up a little hooky thingy to get it out.

Now to find where I can get the inner bush or a whole fan assembly.
