BRAND NEW maxi jet burnt out

[rusty shackleford]

just pulled it out and found all the blades on the impeller snapped off......

its in my sump with no sand, snails or anything else to get sucked into it & i used the strainer on the intake.

any ideas ?

i had 1 of the cobalts that i got with a BRS reactor, lasted @ 2 days

MOPS still has some of the 900 & 600 Italian made ones in stock, and some of the good impellars or get a differeny brand

[rusty shackleford]

well i got it at J&L , an hours drive away. so im worried if i get a replacement its gonna happen again after a day....

cause if the next one sh!ts out on me im gonna lose it

Call them and tell them what happened, and then ask them to check if they have a 'made in italy' replacement in stock

the chinese impellars are white, the italian ones are black

[rusty shackleford]

who makes orange impellers ?
i wanna be mad at the right country

[Cal_stir]

which pump is it, mine was a 1200, had a white impellar, i think all the italian ones are black

[rusty shackleford]

its a 400.

"Call them and tell them what happened, and then ask them to check if they have a 'made in italy' replacement in stock"

im gonna replace the whole pump, when the impeller broke the blades jammed it up not lettin it spin so it might have damaged the motor

if it's a cobalt maxijet you need to be mad at china
