We've been here about 2 years now and first one, then all 3 of the pumps have developed small leaks. I notice that the equipment pad is tilited and some of the pumps are not even supported, they hang a half inch off the pad, supported by their pipes. The pad seems to have been washed out underneath from the rainwater than comes off the roof there, there is no gutter.
Advice needed.... can I just shim the pumps to give them some support, like I did for the big cart filter that is also tilted, or do I need to seriously consider reworking the pad? It would be a job way too hard for us to manage, we'd need a pro to get the piping back in line. Should I just wait until something breaks and we need to do work anyhow? Or is this going to make something break prematurely? Is it possible to prop up the pad itself? I can't see how one might do that really.
I will try to add a photo to this soon.
