Rainwater Pump Replacement & Electrical Fix – Hornsby
Mandy in Hornsby was facing an electrical headache every time she used water from her rainwater tank. Her pump kept tripping the RCD, causing power outages and risking motor burnout.
The Problem
- Pump tripping the home’s RCD, causing power loss
- Risk of electric motor burnout
- Collapsed underground conduit carrying power to the pump
- Interrupted water supply from the tank
Our Solution
