mag 12 won't start
I have a mag 12 pump that I just purchased brand new. If power is cut to the pump it will not restart by itself. It will start if I lift it near the top of the water and let it pull in a little air with the water. Is this normal? It seems like a problem to me. If the power flickers off I could be without a working sump for quite some time while I am away from home.
I am just wondering if I should return it. |

Hopefully the LFS will make an exchange.
