Default We need a "Bloopers" section on the forum!

I wanted to share something for those that decide (for ANY reason) that it is a good idea to remove the toilet top.

I took the top off my toilet to remove the vinyl skirt and when I reassembled the thing I didn't realize that the pump intake will fit on either side of the screen. I just reassembled and yes, I missed my 50/50 spot. Anyhow, the toilet was designed so that solids will always be between the chute and the pump (contained by the screen).

I noticed the pump strted sounding strange and seemed to be straining....I opened it back up op[yesterday and found out why.......The intake tube opening was almost 100% plugged.

All fixed now, no pump failure and the intake does not share the same space as other solid things.


Just something to consider when tearing things apart.
