Help with reeflo dart

[biecacka]

Hey is anyone handy and knowledgeable about reeflo pumps. I have a dart and a goby, both of which don't work. Not sure why or how to fix or if they can be fixed. Reeflo has offered to look at them at my expense and the shipping to Cali is crazy so I figured I'd ask here before I tossed them in the trash.

What are they doing? Any water movement at all? Leaking at the seal?

Vance, one is seized up completely and I don’t know why. The other is leaking and I can’t get it apart to get to the seals. I actually dropped it off to Aaron [MENTION=9518]rivers[/MENTION] to reefs to see if he could get it apart.
I’m assuming the seized one is no good, but not sure. Reeflo recommended I try “Blaster” and see if that will loosen it up.

Will the impeller turn at all? Have you tried to soak the seized housing and impeller?

How old are they?

Maybe see if the impellers are swollen
