Managed to finally fix the sump pump feeding the water tanks yesterday.

I had no idea what I was doing.

I is almost now smort and an expert in headscratching, swearing and savlon application.

I'm halfway through pump shenanigans. Need to install the starter capacitor and silicone up the erosion through the motor casing. Then probably buy a new pump anyway.
