[C320-list] Shower pump

[Pat Tormey]

I use a rolled up piece of that abrasive plastic scrubby stuff, and put it in the drain hole of the shower sump. It acts as a pre-filter to the ‘pump-saver’ wire mesh on the pump itself. Make sure it’s big enough not to get sucked in and replace it every now and again. Cheap and easy

Thanks for all input. It was a clog. Cleaned and works great. Thanx Michael
