Default Speedwave warranty who to contact and am I screwed

Do you guys know what the warranty is and what does it cover? Have a speedwave dc 2640 pump go out I think it's the power supply as there is no light on the unit. (Turned of the pump to feed and it won't turn back on) I bought it June 4 2013 and still have reciept.

I'd say that contacting the seller might be the best action.

check to make sure the impeller isn't seized. mine does that every couple months which is a real joy.

If you want, I have a dry unit sitting around that we could do some tests with. I have two controllers and power supplies that we could test with just to find out what the issue is. Text me if you want to try that out tonight.

Albert, you're up lol.
Yes, it is a crappy power supply

And as far as a recall.... Good luck

I replaced mine with another power supply then my controller died

A electrition friend of mine built his own and rewired the controller then his pump siezed

All these pumps have a life line of about 6 mths maybe a year lol

Still though new gens seem to do better then the first did wave line was no exceptiom and their new models seem to do good more time will tell though
