So not too long ago I attempted to do a rigid tube conversion from soft tubing. Long story short, the whole thing was a disaster and I scrapped the project and went back to soft tubing. During the project I picked up a EK REVO D5 140 pump/res combo about 3 weeks ago so I could ditch my EK DDC pump as it's not really convenient to find a place for it in my case. Plus, I really don't care for the look of having a separate pump.
It worked fine, at first, but it's crapped out so to speak. More times than not, when I put power to the pump, I can feel it try to kick on 3 times but never does. I've also disassbled the damn thing and watched it do this. Now if I pull the impaler out and put it back in, reassemble the res, and hook it back up, the pump starts up just fine. However, if I cut power and start it back up again, I get the same issues with the pump making 3 attempts to start.
Sometimes if I tap on the side of the pump it will get going, but the issue returns once the pump is power cycled.
Did I just get bad lock and bought a DOA pump or is there something I can do to remedy the issue??
Now the DDC pump I've had for the last year and recently put back into my rig is doing the same thing.
I've ruled out the PSU and MoBo as being culprits. This issue is specific to the pumps. And I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why this is occurring on an older pump AND a brand new pump.
