  1. Yes.

  2. The water could have come backwards up the tubing into the pump. That’s what happened to mine. I had to replace mine.

  3. Sounds like you need to clean the intake screen

  4. yes it worn out

  5. Yes, if it won’t work then you’ll need to replace it, the purpose of a pump is to circulate the water so scum doesn’t build up, you need a pump or else your fish may die.

    Yes you need to replace it. 7 years is a long time for a pump to last. Be happy it lasted that long and get a new one.

  7. depending on the cost, either replace it or have it rebuilt. Likely the bearings of the motor have burned out. If it ran too long in that condition, the bearings will damage the shaft and the repair might cost more than a new pump

  8. Why bother asking the Yahoos?
    I think you already know that you need to go to “Fish Pumps R Us” and get another one!
    Besides…most things like that are cheaper to replace than fix.

  9. I am amazed that your pump lasted 7 years. They used to, but more recently they are programmed to last about 3 years, if they are cheap to begin with. The more expensive ones last longer and cost less to operate.
    Yup, yours is dead. Time for a new one.

  10. the motor probably burned out,
    7 years is a long time for such a small motor to be pushing such large amounts of water.
    its probably worth it to find a new one instead of attempting to fix your current one.

  11. YES YOU NEED TO REPLACE IT OR YOUR LIFE IS A BIG BAD GIRL WRONG LIVE TAKE MY ADVICE AND LIVE FOR LIFE 1600 GALLON CAN CAUSE A LOT OF PROBLEM

  12. well open up the pump and just clean it out readjust the impeller and put it back together. If it dosent work with that I would suggest a new pump
