osmolator 3152 not pumping
Hi Roger
I have a nano osmolator 3152 bought used 1 year ago. It has worked flawlessly until just recently when it stopped filling. The pump seems to be triggered but the impeller turns with a choppy staccato pattern. I thought it was the pump and now I am the owner of three pumps each of which behave the same way. I plugged the power cord into a different outlet on a UPS battery backup and it seems to work. I have difficulty believing it to be the outlet on the UPS as everything else works on that outlet. I'm thinking either the power supply or the controller. Any thoughts or suggestions? |

It would be the controller, a diode is faulty and causes this rapid, second hand type twitch, send it in and I will replace it.
