hi Roger,

First I did get the Tunze 3, a pair for my current 65 gallon. Really glad I did. Quiet, lots of options for control, and super happy it will last a really really long time, etc , etc...
Now my osmolator is no longer working. I believe it's 2 years old. I tried to use a different power supply. That is not the issue. So the issue is either the sensor, the pump itself, the 'connector box' where the wires meet into, or maybe a short in the connection where some wires are connected before going to that box.

Which is the most common? BTW I hear nothing whatsoever coming from any part of the osmolator system when I have the float sensor in the 'water fill' position (all the way down). So it doesnt seem as though the pump is trying to do anything. I do have the osmolator universal on my reef tank. So, if needed, I can try to debug what I can borrowing some of those parts.

What do you suggest? I do know the pumps need replacing sometimes.

Thanks!
