My coolant pump seized up right in the middle of a big aluminum run

It happened yesterday afternoon, just as I was about to start the last batch of 50 parts. The motor made this awful grinding noise and then nothing. I had to shut everything down, pull the pump, and clean out a bunch of gunk that had built up in the impeller housing. Anyone have a good method for keeping those small sump pumps clear without taking them apart every month?

That "awful grinding noise" is the worst sound in a shop.

That "awful grinding noise" is just the sound of small problems we ignore turning into big ones, isn't it? Happens with everything from cars to relationships.
