Ive had my skimmer for just under 1 year now, and my pump for the.... SECOND time has gone crazy.
The first time was when I was initaly testing it. The seals broke on the back of it and I was electrocuted...
After several back and forths over the phone with CAD lights and almost a month later I finially got my new pump.
Now fast forward about 8 months.
This pump just died on me. I took it out for cleaning and before I pulled it out I noticed that the skimmer wasnt on. I cleaned it. Tried to turn the pump on (worked) then put it all back together.
Come back about 2 hrs later for feeding, hit the feed on my apex, feed and walk away. Checked back about an hour later and no bubbles in my skimmer... Tried different outlets, reset the port on my apex. Nada, pulled it out again and the magnet in the pump was steaming hot. Almost burned myself. No shock however when the pump was on.
what the heck is going on? Anyone else have the same issue? Is someone from CAD lights here to explain this to me? This is a little frustrating.
