Hi all, my Grundfos Jetpaq water pressure booster pump went pop yesterday, tripping out the RCD in the fusebox. I checked the fuse in the fused power socket and it's fine so must be in the beast itself. There was a slight smell of electrical burning afterwards.
It's about 15 years old and has a metal dome-type thing on one end, with a valve like a car tyre valve in the middle of it which releases air pressure.
Questions: Can I just take it apart and see if it's a simple problem (suspect culprit is water ingress into where power cable exits pump) and, having released the air pressure from the 'dome'end, does it need to be repressurised to a particular figure. I put about 25psi in with my car tyre footpump but the pump is off at present anyway, as I can't get the electric circuit it's on to work with it on (keeps tripping out).
Lastly, can't seem to find one on tinternet to suss out cost of a new one. Any recommendations for a replacement? Money very much an object! And could I just plug it in or would it need 'commissioning' or suchlike? I'm not a dipstick but not a professional either.
Sorry for so many questions and thanks in anticipation of any replies.
Cheers,
Brian
