Alpha Cone 200 Pump dead
I have an Alpha Cone 200 and the pump just stopped. I have cleaned it up, but still does not move water. When I plug it in I hear a hum, and one time it started moving water for maybe a second, and stopped, and I just hear a constant hum.
Is there any other trouble shooting I need to do, if so what steps should I take. If not, how do I go about ordering a new pump? Thanks -- Kevin |

Did you fully disassemble the pump and soak the block and impeller in vinegar for about 10 minutes then scrub inside and out and rinse? If so, then your block is likely dead. You can order a new block from this link. This would ship from our Ft. Myers Florida facility.

Is there a way to test the impeller? What else could be wrong?

So I soak it all in a vinegar bath for 10 minutes.. put it all back together.. submerged in water.. plugged it in. I hear it start for .5 a second (see water movement in bucket).. and then it stops.. and then a hear a humming noise coming from the pump, and no water movement. So by those accounts you think its the pump still?
