HELP Mag 5 Return pump dead

BigAirHarper · 08/03/2012, 05:14 PM

Just came home to find all my power heads on but my Mag 5 return pump is not wanting to kick on. I pulled the pump from the sump, and I'm currently soaking it in a vinegar hot water bath. Pump has been plugged into a surge protector, same one that the power heads are in, status on that is fine so I'm not suspecting surge. What other options do I have to explore to try and get this pump running again?

I'm trying to get 50 posts so ill offer help...how old is it? Did you try to unplug it and plug it in again? Since your are soaking it you must of taken it apart , did you see any build up on any of the parts? Usually mags last for 4 or more years unless the get fowled with debris
