pool pump ?

[MadReefer]

Yesterday accidentally ran over the cord to the pool pump while mowing and mutilated the prongs. Can I buy a replacement at HD or Lowes? I hate to trash it as I bought the pump new end of last season.

Thanks,
Mark

Is it just the plug? You can buy a replacement plug or the whole cord at Lowe's or Home Depot.

Bob, yeah just the plug. The prongs got all bent and I tried to straighten them but no good. I called Branch Brook and they told me I had to but another pump wasn't fixable which is why I posted here. Thanks

That's a simple fix. The plug is about $2 and easy to replace. Cut the cord close to the damaged plug and peel the wire sheilding back about a inch and a half seperate the 3 wires and then screw them into the new plug.

Bob / Hurtback,
Thanks for the info. I figured BB was blowing smoke up my a**. Trying to get another $200 out of me.

Just buy an outdoor plug from Lowes or HD and you should be fine. It will run you about $8 or so

I forgot to mention that the prongs are not the normal style. This is more like the ones on an electric stove. Can I still get it at Lowes or Home Depot?

yes you can find it at hd and lowes. just cut the old plug off and take it with you, (not the whole cord just the plug)
