Freeze-Damaged Booster Pump: Repair vs. Replace, Winterizing Needed

2007 install, tankless booster pump for 40-head, 8-zone system (low city pressure). No winterizing instructions. Turned off valve Sept. Jan: water spewing from pump bottom. Needs 2008 startup advice.

Freeze Damage Repairable

Matt: "Freeze damage is generally repairable, but the parts are sometimes slow to get. So repair or replacement is a matter of how long you want to wait... They are fairly simple and with a bit of mechanical knowledge and some guidance you should be able to fix it yourself."

Info Needed for Parts

• Manufacturer and model # (tag at pump end where water enters).
• Leak location: front (pump end) or back (motor end).
• State (for distributor).

Follow-Up: Berkeley Pump, Model Tag Torn

User found motor # C48K2EC11C3. Matt: "Berkeley is the most important info. Model # is right at the end of the pump where the water comes into it. Usually a metal tag." Provides parts breakdown link. Recommends John Deere Landscapes for parts.
