Sedra pump issues

[mseepman]

I just recently installed my BRS 5 stage RO/DI system and part of my setup was putting a storage container for my DI water down in my crawl space. I wired up an electrical outlet down there to it's own switch up above and then plugged a new Sedra 2500 which sits in my container into the plug. The plan was for me to be able to throw the switch and turn on the pump which then would push water up to me to fill my ATO reservoir, water change buckets, etc.

Today for the 2nd time, when I turned it on, the Sedra wouldn't start. I end up going down into the crawl space and having to take out the impeller and then re-install it, after which everything works fine. This pump was brand new, and it's only sitting in clean water. Upon inspection, there is no build-up of anything in the pump.

Is this a common problem with Sedra's? I've heard of a magnet swell problem, but this pump has been in there 2 weeks at most.
