Dunno why but it seems like putting the intake into the pump makes it stop running. So pretty much I would hav to take the intake out so its bare propellar spinning slowly then keep plugging and unplugging till it spins fast if Im lucky after 20mins then I can put the intake back into its housing and 9/10 the pump will stop again.. All this while trying it under my tiny sump with barely any room to move lol. Once it runs good with the intake in I never shut off my skimmer but had to to rewire. So u can imagine I was goin nuts each time it turns off.
