I recently had the main pump in my 150G SW tank fail me, and right now I'm running on a backup pump (which sucks compared to this one). I've tried taking it apart, cleaning it, etc. and the conclusion I've come to is that the pump should be easily repairable but I just can't do it (I'm a software guy, not a hardware guy )
Anyways, I'm wondering what type of place I can take it to to have someone who knows what they're doing fix my pump. I really don't want to spend $100+ on a new pump, and I'm sure it would take a qualified person 10 minutes at most to fix it. Has anyone ever dealt with this before?
About the pump: it's a magnetic drive pump (I don't have it in front of me, sorry) and everything seems to work OK, except when I put the casing and everything back on, the part that spins like crazy gets caught on something and craps out. Sometimes I can get it to work, but then I turn it off and back on and it gets caught on something and it's all over. I can get more details if you want them, but I won't be home until tonight. Thanks for your help
