I think one of my pumps is starting to fail. It is loud and annoying. I went to switch it out with one of my many pumps I have but the wires are way too short. AG does not have any in stock either. I am going to switch the cycle to 5 on and 55 off for now.
I am going to go thru my stock, I may have some pumps for sale soon as I can not use them. Hoping AG gets some more in soon.

Does the wire for the pump exit the unit and and plug in to the unit outside or into the wall away from the water? If so there is no reason why that wire can not be cut and extended as long as you wan it to be. This is not a difficult skill and one any handy person most likely has done more than a few times. If you and immediate family can not do it, ask that guy that lives down the street and is always working on something in his garage or drive way.

The cord on the pump itself that then plugs into a control box outside the unit. I would never mess with this cord. If it were all totally outside then I would ask my husband. But not this cord.

I have a couple of spares. If you wish to change out sooner, holler. All I would ask is that you replace it later, when they are back in stock?
Alternatively, I see they have them in stock on Amazon. $12.95, free shipping for Prime members.

Thank you, I will let you know.
I saw them on Amazon but I wonder if they will be the pumps with the longer wire.

Hmmmm...good question! Maybe check the description to see if it says? I know the ones I got have the much longer cord. I remember thinking, wow, much longer than the original pump when I replaced the pump on the light deck Bounty machine...just in case the pump was an issue.

Ok so I could not wait any longer for a response from AG so I went ahead and ordered two from Amazon in hopes they have the longer cord. If not I will just return. They will be here tomorrow and then I can replace the pump and move my plants back to that side.

Given the current climate of supply chain issues in the world, etc., it may be a good idea to have a few backups.

The Aerogarden site says that Pump #200623 works with all Aerogarden Farm, Harvest, Ultra, Bounty, and newer EXTRA models.

Yes. But that was the dance number with the shorter cord too I believe. I have this look at my Amazon to confirm.
They just arrived. I will change them out in the morning.
