Hank: How's it going?
Tom: Like blood from a stone mate!
Tom: Been struggling with the damn pump all day.
Hank: Damn!
Tom: Yeah and I'm still no closer to a solution.
Hank: What's been going on with it?
Tom: It kinda works and pumps the water out but it doesn't produce enough power to pump it out through the hose.
Hank: Air bubbles?
Tom: Yeah, I thought that too but I'm not so sure now.
Hank: Have you tried throwing it into the pond and wiggling it around to see if you can dislodge the air bubbles.
Tom: Yeah, been there done that.
Hank: And...
Tom: Seems to work for a moment then you put it back in the sump and we're back to square one.
Tom: I thought of taking it apart to see if maybe the turbine needs cleaning out.
Hank: If you can help it please don't do that as it might invalidate the warranty.
Tom: Might need to do that because I think I've exhausted every other option.
Hank: Wait until I come home and I'll see if I can manage to get it going.
Tom: OK.
Hank: I'll be home by 7pm.
Tom's pump doesn't work properly. It sucks the water in but pumps out just the air bubbles. Nothing helps. The pump is still on warranty. Hank will be home at 7 pm and will check the pump.
