Pro tip: Fixing a suction line clog with flow reversal
Our dredge hit a thick clay layer that jammed the suction line solid. I thought about it and decided to try reversing the pump for just a couple seconds. It worked and cleared the line right up. What other quick fixes have you guys found for sudden blockages?

I'm with Sandra on this, it seems unsafe.

Sometimes the simplest fix is the right one, like hitting reverse when you're stuck. That dredge trick reminds me of @taylorc40 getting things moving again with basic logic. Why do we always try the hard way first?
