Either it has plugged from trash pumped out of the sump, or calcium has built up in it, or the pump is bad.
Those tubes drop into a long tray with slots over the pad width to distribute the water. The distribution trough is built on the pad rack, above the pad.

It is a small one that fits into a pre-cut hole in the side of the house. It seemed to be working okay when I first uncovered it from the winter sheathing and got the bobber thing set just right. It has a small hose running from the faucet to the cooler. It was doing absolutely nothing today and not much yesterday so I unplugged it and took the front cover off. The straw filters were all dry. There is only a drop or two coming from the one drip hose I can see. (I know, I cannot find the instructions anywhere... I know I didn't toss them.) How is the drip hose set so it will put water onto the filters? Should it be dripping or spraying? I can't see what is going on with the other two drip tubes but the main one in front is merely dripping. Is there something I should do to clean the pump?? I had it all emptied and covered for the winter. THANKS!! OVERHEATED IN COLORADO!! Darci
