I have 7 of the DC pumps running on 2 different tanks and have had 2 power supplies do this exact thing. Wish I was more electronically in tune but since I added cooling fans I havent had an issue.......knock on wood.

I have built 24V power supplies out of a couple server power supplies. I have one for my RC Heli charging station, 24v 47A I'll see if I can find an adapter to plug into the controller and try it. JL is sending me a RMA for it tho too. But if I can get it going, I'd rather build something solid to run it and have it back, rather than wait months for it to be returned for warranty

I had mine crap out after about 6 months. Turns out it was a bad controller.
