has anyone had this happen?

they've been hooked up for about 2 months now, running perfect, no problem at all... and in the same spot never moved, and i was sitting here watching t.v. and all of a sudden heard a high pitch noise.. almost like a whistle, without looking at my tank right away just ignored it thinking it'd go away in a second, and after about a minute it was still going looked at my tank that was full of sand and was confused, then i noticed the Slave pump's Wet side was spinning ... the whole unit...


has anyone ever had this happen or whats the cause of it? i turned both pumps off...pulled the one pump off, and re-attached it, and turned back on and it stopped doing it, but now im concerned as if this were to happen again while im at work or something...

I would think that the only way the entire wet side would begin spinning is if something became lodged between the magnet and the housing. Perhaps a small snail, or just the right sized bit of sand or debris.

Happened to me twice. It was under warranty and got replaced but finally the second one has been fine for over a year now.
