Hello all, I have a 3 yr old L2 for the last couple of weeks the pump will randomly turn off. If I unplugged the power it would turn back on and stay on for a few days to a week. But now it turned off and won't come back on. The driver has the normal green ring around the knob but there are no white pump speed lights. I replaced the power supply with a ecotech one and that dint fix it. Today I cleaned it out and found a few crap shells in it so I cleaned those out but still same thing. Looks like maybe the plastic piece at the end of the magnet impeller broke ? Should I try swapping out the driver now ? Unsure. I Currently gave main pump going but I do have 3 circulation pumps pushing water with good air mixture

Best to contact ecotech and send it in for warranty service. They're generally good about doing warranty work on out of warranty items as long as you're the original owner.

Was there any flashing lights at any point during one of the failures?

No flashing lights at all. Would just turn off. Now just the green circle for the knob and no more white speed lights
