6060 a goner?

[Sullyman]

I've got a 6060 that keeps stopping, even after cleaning/soaking it will just stop. It's a pump I got used, so I'm not sure how old it is. What is the average life span of these pumps?

Send it in and I'll check it out. With good care, it could last 10 years or more but if used on a wavemaker, not cleaned, etc, it may last less that a couple years. Usually when a pump shuts off like that it is a simple mechanical issue causing it to overheat and turn itself off but if it is ignored it could be ruined.

Thanks Roger, I knew you'd stop by. The housing is just a coil, isn't it? The current that runs through the coil, spins the shaft?
I'll send it Roger, with the 2 shafts I've got.
I've got a lot of faith in your products and service. I have already ordered a 6080 to replace the one that's down and I've had 3 6100's and a wave box sitting here for my new tank.
Roger can a multi controler handle the nano streams and 6100s?

It will work with the 6055 Nano Stream.
