RD3 80 Dead After 2.5 years
My RD3 just died. I guess the warranty ran out about 6 months ago...I am guessing it's the controller that crapped out, but it's a direct connection to the pump. Has anyone else had luck buying just the controller? I know the newer ones have a plug, but I am very comfortable soldering if I have to.
It really sucks to lose such an expensive piece of equipment not even a year out of warranty. If anyone can help with this issue, I'd really appreciate it!! |

https://www.tripplite.com/isobar-4-o...~ISOBAR4ULTRA/ Also, most quality UPS’s offer surge protection but batteries seem to need to be replaced every year or so which is a pain in the pocket book. The RD3 230 controllers are in stock and can be purchased from royalexclusiv.com

It seems a shame to throw away a perfectly good motor block because of a fried controller.

I got a really good deal on two BNIB 80w to use on my 185. One will be a spare. I found the Hirschmann connectors on Newark electronics. The pumps are EOL and out of warranty anyway, so I’m going to put them on. It will make maintenance so much easier.
