5017 acting up, pump wont push wAter sometimes.

It will work sometimes and then sometimes it won't. The light will flash to low ad then ill unplug it and the pump will shake and not push any water. And then it'll just stop all together

I read somewhere it could be a small electrical fix but I'm not sure

How old is it? It sounds like it just may be a dead or defective pump. After 10 minutes of trying to run the pump, the too low light will come on.

Gahh it's the second pump :/ anything I can do besides replace the pump? I think it's about 3-4 years old

If only used in RO water, the pumps have an expected life of 2-3 years, half that if kalk or a calcium additive is added to the reservoir. It may just be time for a new one. The pumps are not repairable. You could test the pump with a 9V battery, if it does not run with a 9V battery, we can be sure it is dead.
