May I remind the dear reader that I had to replace my fresh water pump back in March? Well, about a week ago this new one gave up the ghost. It happened when I went to bed and I decided to sleep on it and try to fix it the next day. Well, I fixed it for about 15 minutes (not knowing exactly what I did other than fiddle with the water hoses and fill the water tank). And after I put everything away, it stopped working again. Looking at the manual that stated there are no user-serviceable parts inside, it must have been the pressure sensor. Fortunately I hadn’t bought this online but through a local shop in Dun Laoghaire, Solas Marine, I called Tom and a replacement would be ready in a few days.

Today I cycled to Dun Laoghaire to get the replacement. Nice cycle ride and it is much better to cycle there compared to before the pandemic! (I also cycled because I need the exercise as the swimming pool is still closed for my aquarobics classes).

I installed it and I have water again! Civilisation has returned (for as long as it lasts). The sound is also different from this one even though it’s the same model, I hope that is a good sign…

And a photo, because that is what you were looking for?
