Long shot but.....

I'd love to but some how I don't think it comes with more than a 90 day warranty. We'll see I guess. As far a sending it in to them, well, that will be tricky seeing as how my return line relies on it being in place to atually return water. I suppose if J&L really wants it, I can rig something up until the replacement comes.

I wonder if anyone else has had problems with these units? To the best of my knowledge they are supposed to be pretty bullet proof, which is why I bought one.

I am not all that close but I do have 2 I am not using, I will give you a good deal if you want, shipping should only take a couple days.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a SCWD?

SCWDs are notorious for failing and becoming bothing but an overpriced T fitting. They also cut down on flow quite a bit.

If you can go with an OM next time - they're much more reliable.

lol funny story: I've own both a SCWD and a OM SS Compact for about 3 years each. I've never had a problem with the SCWD and I've only cleaned it once where as I had to pay +$100 to replace the noisy motor on my OM after two years when it crapped out. I still prefer the OM unit (and even bought a 4-Way recently) but my experience seems to contradict everything else that I've heard about these devices. I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones. That or my day is coming soon.

Edit: My SCWD just crapped out today after at least 3 problem free years. I think thats a record!
