(Tabul SA)
I had a power surge and the filter will no longer pump water. It rattled for a while now it wont pump. I turned it on without water for a second to see iff it would rotate and it rattles. When i refilled it it still wont pump. Any help please the filter is 6 months old. Could i have broken the magnt/rotor.
A: It is possible the rotor/impeller has be demagnetized. You need to troubleshoot the issue. There have been a number of Q&A's already posted on this subject. Here are some links to those sections:
