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?
