Aquatec 6800

GTR · 12/05/2007, 06:51 PM

I've had an Aquatec 6800 I'd guess for about 10 years to run my home RO system. It's only taking my pressure from 30 to 45 psi. Is there anyway to bring this thing back to life, as is a repair kit available? It's still jerking the tubing some but not like before.

BTW, I just read on your sire about placing the 8800 after the sediment filter... don't ask.

Thanks

Hi Steve - No filter ahead of it and 10 years old... I think that qualifies for "out of warranty!"

I suspect only Aquatec would have parts for something that old:

Thanks Russ.
I'll round up the info from the pump and try them Friday (the pumps at home). Not really looking for a free ride with a warranty, just seems a waste to toss it into the landfill if the business end is repairable.

Thanks again.... SteveU
