Title: pump keeps stopping
Post by: Neil Gornall on December 29, 2010, 07:36:12 am

The inline pump just before my RO keeps stopping, sometimes completely, sometimes it just seems to slow and struggle.

If I tap it with something it starts up again and runs ok for a while, maybe an hour maybe a day.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to strip it down and fix it? It seems as if it needs lubricating but I am not sure which part (the motor side or the water side) or what with.

Brushes maybe ?

  Neil, my last one did that, I did indeed take it to pieces to try and fix.

  When I put it back together it still didn't run correctly and as an added bonus it started leaking too.

  Spend some of your wealth!!!
