Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Hey Doggy

Nice bike.... Love the Chevy truck too...

Sorry to hear about the sump pump issues...

 

Still firing this morning...

Was 63 F in the house when I rolled out at 5 am

Lit the Weee stove and its GITTENERDONE...

 

No - which is great because I can pick the latest delivery.

 

I don't know the situation now, but about 10 yrs ago, I bought a heavy duty sump pump from HD. It was a Ridgid. It was sold with a lifetime replacement warranty. I gave it to my son.

 

That may be good or bad.

 

Musky bait

 

Knock on wood, but i have a Rigid sump pump that went off twice a minute for like six months. Good product.

 

Eagle bait too.

 

I bought a 1/2 hp Ace sump pump in april. It said on the box 2 year warrantee. This store is only 3 miles from my home so its convienent. thepump ran, but would not push the water the necessary 5 ft. up, I cleaned a small amount of debris, checked the pipe out, and tried the pump again but to no avail. Took the pump back to the store this morning and first the young lady cashier could not find my name in the computer ( I have bought thousands of $ at the place) than after I guided her to my name and where I had bought the $140 pump she says its not returnable. There is a 2 year warrantee I say. You need to return it to the manufacturer she says. Its a ACE pump and this is a ACE store I say. You want a manager she says. Oh yea I say. I nicely explain I want a new pump to the manager. No way she says, look at the tag on the pumps cord it says contact warranty company for tech support. Don't need it I tell her I need a pump to pump the 2.5-3.0 " of water coming tonight and tomorrow. Nope she says. I got a bit mad after that, and told her so, but I was stuck so I went back and grabbed another pump so my basement wouldn't flood tomorrow and I would have a chance of getting my money back. While grabbing the pump another manager said "those are great pumps" BS they are I have one on the counter up front that's a piece of chit, just like your store. "Oh you have to call the manufacturer to get a repair or new pump " Ya u going to come over and bail out my basement tomorrow morning while Im on hold with some pump company ? Look at this box it says 2 year warranty and I have one 6 months old that doesn't work. She spun around and went in the back room.
After putting in the new pump and checking operations, on my way to work I called the warranty /manufacturer and the very pleasant tech girl said "oh you can just return that pump to an ACE hardware store " No you cant I said and explained what had gone on the last 2 hours. Call me from the store and be sure you bring the pump and they will give you your money back. We will see on Wednesday, wifey gets off at 1:30 and she is going to give em the what for.

They have (2) 1/2 HP ones avail. at the Pok. store.

 

Rigid pumps look good. Also saw Wayne pump an that's who makes ACE pumps.

Ace is a large company with small/local flavor. This is a chance for them to show you how the small/local store is better than Big Box but instead of solidifying a regular customer relationship, they failed miserably likely driving that customer to Big Box.

 

If they still refuse to give you your $$$$ back, whisper in the managers ear WANT ME TO MAKE A BIG SCENE ??????

That usually gets their attention...real quick..

 

It would be my luck that nobody else would be in the store at the time.

 

There is that ....

Pick a busy time....

 

Yes it is the thing you unplug when you do the LBT. Let me guess you just did the LBT and forgot to hook the pressure switch back up?

 

Time for my nap.
