Dumb mistakes

Pump still isn't pumping. Went and got a check valve today but it didn't do the trick. Then I found out I made several really dumb mistakes.

For one, I had the intake hose and output hose reversed.

Second, i have the intake hose too long. This pump only has a suction height of ten feet. May be slightly more with the narrower hose I'm using than the 1" it's rated for but still it's too long. Have to do something about it tomorrow. Tired and it's dark.

Good day at work. The other NP returned who has been gone for some time. Things ran pretty smoothly. Of course, I'm learning the job better over time.

Not much else to write about.
