Drum check
Just come in from going out to feed the grow on's in the garage and I heard a gurgling sucking noise.
Followed the noise to the main pump from the drum to the shower,thought not getting water so checked inside the drum,shit clean side nearly empty then saw the float switch against the screen mesh stuck up.
Quick adjustment and all ok.
I had been adjusting it earlier on and mustn't have tightened it up enough and the wash timer was on 74 mins and it has been cleaning around every 25 mins so must have been stuck for nearly 1/2 hr, very lucky.
Lesson to be learnt.

Once happened to me also, put a hole in the mesh, had to make a bit of a repair.

It must have swivelled round into the mesh and luckily just stayed in the upright position so with the mesh blocking up the switch didnt drop to activate the drum so the clean side started to empty.

Running heater at low temp?
Covering the pond with polycarb should be enough to stop water temps dipping below 6C for the most...
