Problems with Bubble Kings

[sphelps]

Had a client with a BK300 SM and the main pump died after about 6 months or so. Talked to someone at Pro-line and they walked me through some diagnostics and eventually ended up replacing the pump. So no complaints from me. My personal BK has worked flawlessly without problems, so far anyway.

You're suppose to maintain the pump regularly by cleaning the shaft and the ceramic bearing at the back of the pump (most don't know about the bearing maintenance). Not doing so can result in premature failure. Also if the shaft and impeller are not perfectly aligned the pump will shut off. In order for the pump to achieve it's high efficiency it has a very low tolerance system. I'd suggest cleaning the rear bearing so it can spin freely on the shaft and seeing if that fixes the problem. To remove it you have to pull it out with a pair of long needle nose pliers. Push it back in place with the appropriate size socket. If this doesn't fix the problem contact Pro-line directly.
