Tunze nano ATO

How long is the average life for these pumps? Ive had mine for probably 3 years now. Its been giving me problems over the last months where it would stop, then playing with it to get it running then stopping again after a day or two. The other day it would run for seconds then nothing, dead. I would assume its the pump.
Is there another ato that you would suggest or should i just take a chance on replacing the pump.

I had this same problem. According to Tunze, my tank was on the bigger side for this ATO and they referred me to the manual to move the jumper so that it'll fill longer.

Have you tried unplugging the lead from the small square box and then re plugging it in?
