Water pump and electrical proximity

[tek610]

Another rookie question, thanks in advance for your help-

When I installed our hardwired surge protector, I found that the water pump sits right next to the rats nest of wiring and the converter/breakers. Should I be concerned? There are a couple of grounding blocks secured to the floor, and the whole thing looks like it was wired with whatever shop scraps were lying around. I don't know how reliable or leak-proof these pumps are. I have a water pressure regulator so I don't blow any hoses, and all the connections look to be ok (I conducted a driveway test while the couch was off so I could check for leaks at connection points). If the pump were to fail, it looks like even a dribble could fry everything, God forbid it sprays everywhere.

It's all under the couch in our 13QBB right where the power and water connections are on the outside of the wall. It's a bit of a pain to access, gotta remove the couch, then the platform it sits on. Like 20 screws. I'm considering adding an access panel to alleviate some of that.

Also- has anyone taken the time to clean up the factory wiring? Tedious work, I'm sure.

Thanks all-

John

While I agree that what you have is a rats nest, organizing the wiring won't help much. Those pumps certainly can fail, but they don't spray water around when they do.
