Spent 8 hours on a clogged suction line that turned out to be a single rock

The whole thing was a single, smooth river stone jammed right at the pump intake. Felt like a total idiot after pulling apart the whole line. Anyone else had a clog that simple but took forever to find?

Oh man, that's the worst kind. Don't feel bad about the time spent, a single rock can create a perfect seal. I once tore apart a whole sprinkler zone for a tiny piece of root that looked just like a drip emitter.

My neighbor spent three hours on a pebble last week. It was wedged in a valve seat and stopped all flow. Those tiny things cause the biggest headaches.
