Euro Reef - RS model

Is that a Sedra 1200 or 12000?

Thanks

This is super strange, this pump ran without a hiccup for a year. I unplugged it, packed it in its original box and sent it.

It could be a cold solder joint very common in solder joints that were soldered VAI wave soldering or a person with a shaky hand. It can also be in the plug-in head if the wire has broken it will heat up and the insulation will exspand and break the conection I've seen this a few times. This is why you are suppose to unplug electrical items by the plug-in head.

the wire seems to be ok - I would have to agree that it might be a solder joint internal...

the only catch is the entire pump is internally inclosed in a plastic coating (wil not be able to reach solder joints)

not sure what to do from here????

where can you get the exact same pump from?
the "GX 6000" does 6000 L/min which is about 1600 GPH...

that would equate to a Sidra 20000 (approx)

or do I try and find the same pump?

[Popeye]

sorry 12000

[Doo]

So the best I can come up with for a replacement pump is a SIDRA 20000

The GX 6000 does 6000 L/M = 1600 G/H
for the price (I want to keep it as low as possible) - The Sidra 20000 does 2000 G/H, I don't want to add heat to my system as well...


That is the best I can come up with - any thoughts or ideas?

is there a place I can get a GX 6000 locally (Edmonton, Calgary or even Canada?)

Please help if you have ideas...

Thanks guys!

A sedra 6000 is only 600gph. You can try a sedra 7000. Which model is it you have?

[Doo]

I don't have a SEDRA - never did...

I had a GX 6000 and it did 1600 gph

Need a pump that will match that!

The best I can come up with is the Sedra model 20000 (pumps 2000 GPH)

looking for experienced opinions PLEASE!

You can always order a new pump from EuroReef

Could just be the impeller, seen a few pumps with similar issues solved with a new impeller assembly.
