Pool pumps

and a complete unit.....

I was informed by someone last week about this that apparently you can claim them on Insurance under fusion or something. ;)

I have one pump that just died and the other pump wont be far off so waiting on that one to go and then I was going to claim on both. The pumps have done pretty good 8 years of running. The salt chlorinator has also just gone for a holiday as well :mad:
Dose anyone know if you can claim on Insurance for these items?.

Hmm good idea will check out the insurance angle. Ta.

Vlad what are you doing?

You need a new pump, this is the perfect excuse to get an old series in the backyard, surely you could rig it up to run as a pool pump. Just run a pair of filters before and after the cooling system on the old 2.25. At least then when the pump dies you can rebuild it.

I like the way you think.

I have placed an order here:

they are local-ish so I should get it in a day or so.

G'day Vlad :)

Unfortunately on motors they depreciate them. So, a 3 year old one you might get 40% back, and 5 20% or whatever. At anyrate, they will only pay you for a replacement while the goods are still new enough to be under warranty :eek: :mad:

Wrong. I rang Sunsorp and they will pay on any motor up to 10 years old, but:

1. You must have specified fusion cover in your policy (general, don;t need to list indivdual items)
2. You must get a written advice from a repairer to say its shot / why its shot / how much it would cost to repair and to replace.
3. You must still pay the excess on the policy.

So since I sourced a NEW pump for $364, I'd need to go to a repairer and probably pay for a quote for a repair just in order to get $64 back. Now while $64 is not to be sneezed at and they assure me that it won;t affect my premium, I'm not sure it's worth all the hassle.

Anyway, new pump should be here tomorrow arvo I hope.

Cool. I must look at our insurance next renewal...
