nightmare job this afternoon wasnt funny at the time but I have calmed down now and wish somebody had videoed it .

Old Ideal mini breakdown , I just gently unscrewed the chrome pump screw to check the pump .

The water pressure coming out of the pump ( yes shouldnt be any ) threw the screw across the room followed by gallons of water, it went everywhere , nothing to stop it apart from me who had to soak it up untill it slowed down enough untill I found the screw.

Another school day lol lol
 
:D can't say I've ever had that even not had a dribble

Pump seals must of been fecked
 
Not had that either. Let’s just hope the water was not as black as the ace of spades.:p:p
 
Nightmare town had it happen to me on a auto air vent the self sealing type? once black ---- everywhere wet vac and blue roll saved the day can happen to the best bud . cheers kop
 
Think we need to get 2nd. Don’t think we will come up if we get playoffs. Your right too many good teams in the league. Good to watch though. Last year was cr*p for us.
