i have a red jacket 518 submersible sewage pump , looks like 2 stainless steel 4 inch cylinders with bolts and a plastic grid shroud in between.
i just bought a house and the wiring to the pump and float switches was a mess. so i pulled the pump to see if it workes . runs just fine but the 11o v lead is too short and wire inside was damp and discolored. i need to replace this lead that enters at the mid pump plastic shroud . how is the wire water sealed at the entry???? and what does one need to seal the exit of a new wire lead?? would like benefit of any experience out there. i have never fooled with submersible pumps until now. redjacket website was absolutley no help - no diagram or repair manual for this product. thanks for your interest bill h. p.s . no i am not living there yet.
