Hello Guys,
Hope you may be able to shed soemlight on this problem. I got my pump back in Sept 08 as a brand new Gen2 model. Its been working fine but over the last 4 weeks or so it had disconnected twice - I could not see why this had occurred and upon re-connecting and powering on again it operated fine.
However, this week the same problem re-occurred only this time as soon as I reconnect the two halves and switch the power on - the pump operates for a few secs and then as soon it starts to ramp up (I have mine in reef crest mode) it just disconnects.
I have contact ITC (Uk distributer) who I understand are trying to get some info on this via your engineers. They very kindly sent me a replacement magnet for the wet side thinking this should solve the problem. Unfortunately not, it just keeps disconnecting upon me connecting the two halves and powering up.
Is this something you can advise on please? I run a full on SPS tank and the vortech is the sole pump in there - I have had to get out my old nano streams to keep the tank running with sufficeient flow. I have loved the vortech but this is causing me concern. Any info you can shed either here and to the distributer would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Roshan
