Bullfrog - sucked up scumbug

(1/2) > >>

GrayBeardCA:
Ugh. So yeah... I put the tub on Hold mode and was rinsing the filters when I got distracted... when I came back out I heard the pump running. Scumbug nowhere to be found. I thought I took it out of the tub but I can't find it anywhere, I suspect it was sucked up while the filters were off. Pump 1 is very weak. Pump 2 was normal. I turned the tub off and I'm draining right now. How screwed am I? I plan to see if I can use the wetvac and suction the thing out. Any ideas?

MarKee:
You probably just need to unhook the plumbing union that hooks to the pump that is weak, and stick your fingers in it to see if you can fish it out of there.

GrayBeardCA:
Update: Drained the tub last night, I was able to find a picture online and figure out which pump went to the weak side. Undid the pipe and there it was. Fortunately it was still in one piece! Hopefully this is my last learning experience  :o

GrayBeardCA:
Tub cleaned, water refilled and the moment of truth when I turned the power back on... both pumps work like normal again. Thank goodness.

And if you were wondering... I threw that scumbug away!

TheSunshyn:
Glad you got it fixed without too many complications.

So uh... Now I can laugh about a bullfrog eating a bug, right?  :D
