Tunze 6105 turbelle 2017 or 2018 model

[Patrick Murphy]

Today one of my 6105 turbelle has stopped working. I have two that are ran off each other. The one in question has a weird flash of blue on the controller. Impeller just Jerks and doesn't turn on or make a full rotation. Any suggestions? If I disconnect it from the other pump the blue dials light up but still no impeller motion.

I would check the drive unit, it should pull out easily with only magnetic resistance and the metal shaft it spins on should be firmly fixed in the motor, this behavior can be a symptom of the parts locking up with calcium and that can if ignored dislodge the shaft.

The shaft was in place yesterday and I did clean the impeller magnet and brush out the housing with a pipe brush. Wasn't much in there. Still acting wonky.

I would open the controller and check it for water damage, if you find water damage, carefully inspect the pump cable where it was submerged. I am in Denver for Reefstock and will be off line the rest of today and this weekend.
