How long does it run for? Have you removed the bearing and cleaned the inside of it where the shaft goes in and also made sure the bearing was properly installed once you put the bearing back in place? See post 2 of the thread below.
http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2573406 If the answer is yes and the impeller only spins for a second or two, then it sounds like your block died. The only other thing to check would be the magnet on the impeller which should be firmly glued/bonded to the shaft and also inspect the impellers magnet for swelling. If the magnet is firmly attached to the shaft and there are no signs of swelling (VERY rare) then you need a new block.

If your block is the much older version that doesn't have the red tube (AKB) that goes between the pump head and the block, then this is the block you need. We don't have them in stock in the US right now so it will have to come from Germany. We are hoping to have our next shipment in the US sometime late next month barring any complications. As such, getting it from Germany may be your best choice if you are in a a hurry.
http://royalexclusiv.net/Spare-Parts...VS09::185.html If your block as the red tube (AKB) then this is the block you would need. http://royalexclusiv.net/Spare-Parts...AKB::1001.html That said, post a picture of the block. Depending on which model you have, I can probably suggest another block which you can remove from the base and glue to the base from your existing pump. That would save you some shipping since it would come from the US warehouse.

thanks for the quick replies, it only runs for a 1-seconds, I am going to pull out the bearing tonight, and it does not have the red tube, so yes I would need something fast,
assuming the block is bad, how long to get one from Germany, I am in MA thanks Erik |
