Monthly routine here to clean all my pumps regardless, a little TLC goes a long way.

Was it the actual pump or controller? Two of my three controllers have been replaced within the same time period.

It's surprising other pump manufacturers haven't adopted the cooling bypass idea. Such a simple idea to keep the motor block cooler preventing calcium-carbonate build up.

Recently my magnesium dropped to 1200 so I'm wondering if this caused more precipitation inside the block? I was upping my 2-part dosing assuming my mag was ok.

Speaking of cleaning equipment, how often do you do a thorough clean of your skimmer?
