My pump quit on my ASM 2 last summer, and I ended up having to replace the pump after diagnosing that nothing else was the problem. If you do end up going with a new pump, look at the sedra 5000 instead of a new 3500. The 5000 worked much better than the 3500 did for me, and was still able to connect it with no issues. I don't recall where I ended up getting the pump from.
