It started up a few times after that but is back to it’s old tricks again today


It’s off most of the time only runs for 10 minutes an hour

Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/010:00/050:00 Then ON
If FeedA 005 Then OFF




If it’s out of the water, I can usaly get ti to start if I flick the prop with my finger a few times.
this is like a problem i have been having with the same model.
if i set the pump to always stay on at 30% or more they stay on.
but a full off /on cycle and they stall.

try running at 30% and see if it stays on for 24 hours.
just to test the idea that this has partly to do with the power cycle.

also check the shaft and the drive unit for uneven wear i have had to replace a shaft and a drive unity due to something getting in the pump and grinding the parts so they were not staying centered.
