You can go out to eat an I’ll text when it’s done. Just keep up with the reports.

Was thinking along the same lines. I am in Fullerton if you need help diagnosing problem

Not going to be able to get on the water myself for at least a few weeks so might as well help someone else out

I've found them from Walmart for less than 20$. Run it straight to your plug. Bypass switch. They are notorious for failing. They finally corrected this issue on the new tanks with a magnetic switch. Fingers crossed. . By the way, the Tsunami pumps are pretty bulletproof and is unlikely the issue. Test your battery with a cheap multimeter from harbor freight. You can get one for free with any purchase, if you get the coupon.

Check the battery make sure it's over 6volts. If it is, get some heat shrink solder butt connectors like this and cut out the switch... Also if you have a 12v battery try that. It will just make the pump spin faster.
