Good Morning all..
I have a Polaris PB460 Booster pump for a sidewall cleaning system. Last week, we had temps dip to Zero degrees in North Geogria and the 3/4" inlet line that feeds my booster froze and cracked into millions of pieces. I've replaced the 3/4" pvc and ensured all valves, etc. are back open to the Booster Pump. When I power the pump up, it's not moving water at all. I've also ensured that there's no vapor lock, and that the pump is getting water by removing the Prime plug and seeing waterflow. When the pump powers up, it kicks on normally but isn't pushing water. I've not let it run long enough to get hot, well, no longer than 5 minutes or so. When the pipe burst, theres a good chance that the pump kicked on while we were away, and it being an inlet pipe, I'd say there was no water getting to it.
Is it possible the pump is now "Burned up" and needs to be replaced?
Thanks in advance!
Jim
