Thanks Dave.  That sounds like it could be the culprit, since I would have
days where it would run and then not run and then run again.  It doesn't
seem like the pump is problematic, just he power to it.

I've had a few responses at this point and it's been what, 10 minutes.  You
guys are all great.

I'll let you know how it goes.
