Another dead Vectra L1

After about a year and a half of use my Vectra L1 has died. I took it apart and cleaned it to no avail. It actually feels like the inside of the impeller housing has a divet inside of it. I’m at my wits end with this pump and recently bought another to replace it. Does anyone know how to fix this thing?

I had my share of frustrations with the L1’s I was using on my closed loop. They ended up replacing mine 4 times before finally giving up. I replaced it with a with DC pump from Simplicity. 1.5 yrs later haven’t had one issue with the pumps.

The way to "fix" it is to call Ecotech -- they will probably send a replacement.
