Pump Power Cord Frayed

[MBrady]

Hi,

The power cord on my Bubble Blaster HY2000 Skimmer pump is frayed where the cord meets the pump body. The pump still works but I'm not sure how long this will last, any ideas on if repair is possible?

I'm not sure that heat shrink wrap will be effective in creating a water-tight seal.

Thanks!

VOTE - NEW PUMP

weigh electric surge thru your tank and losing everything currently alive in aquarium with trying to repair an underwater pump... vs new pump

fray where cord meets pump body implies something was tugging or otherwise not kosher with cord to pump body... try also to figure this out so that you don't have this come up again

Time for a new pump as said above.

Eh... I've had cheap powerheads and pumps literally just rot where the cord enters the body's potting (water proofing).

There is a waterproof heat shrink wrap that has some sort of adhesive and seals it but I would just get a new pump as well. If it were the other end of the cord I would definitely go the fixing route lol.
