• The pump "punches through"

  • Heather

Recently, while servicing the aquarium, I noticed that I get a slight electric shock when I touch the light fixture, which seems to be grounded. I found that one of the pumps is "shorting" on one of the contacts. So the question is, should I throw the pump away or can something be done?

It can be repaired, but it's really a hassle. Therefore, to the scrap - if life is precious.

definitely in the trash, there was a story - I still regret the wildlife and the system breakdown.

It's a pity, of course, the pump is in good condition, even though it has been working for 3 years. It doesn't hit hard, but it does hit, and it's concerning that the wire might be copper. In general, I removed the pump from the aquarium and will be looking for a replacement.

A break on the hand is a trifle, but if there is a break in the phases and neutral, then that is a PROBLEM for the ungrounded.

How long do pumps usually last? Out of my four pumps, only one has had no problems. Three have been working for 4.5 years, and one for 3 years.

There are different types of pumps. Some work for a month, while others are "almost eternal."
