Dart Pump putting Electricity into the water!
What the heck should I do about this? The pump is 3 months old and its hooked up to my closed loop. I can take the pump off but I won't have any flow in my tank if I contact sequence to have it repaired or something.
The water has enough electricity in the water that it tingles my fingers pretty dang good if I put them in the water.

take it off anyway, and add some power heads for flow until you get a new pump

well I would consider electricity + water contact worse than having no flow and you can get a powerhead at your LFS pretty easily
