My pump stopped working today and I can't figure out the issue so I've ordered another (All Pond Solutions Aqua Eco).
I removed the power cable from my outside junction box today so I could wire it to a household plug and try it on the mains. It worked until I turned it off again...
Anyway, I noticed that in my junction box where I only have the pump and the UV wired in (other two sockets wires to old equipment), that the pump was wired to the 5amp socket/fuse and the UV to the 3.15amp. In their manuals they both say they should be fused at 3amps.
My question is, am I ok to wire up the new pump when it comes to the 5amp, even though it says 3 in the manual? The last one was running for around 2 years on the 5, so does it make all that much difference? I can't actually find any junction boxes that have 2x3amps....
Any help is greatly appreciated.
