So I set up my sump in February. Since then I have had two mag drive 9.5's stop working on me. They both lasted around a month and a half or so. Both of them were brand new. The first one stopped working and when I opened it up was extremely clean with no build up on it. I had it replaced by warranty, but still had to buy another to use in the meantime. My second one died on my in the middle of the night last night, and when I open this one it had a bit of build up on it, but not too crazy. I took a picture so you guys could see. Once I cleaned it a bit it started right up again.
Whats causing these pumps to die so fast on me? Is it possible with a ball valve that I have it dialed back too far that the pressure is destroying the pumps? I have the ball valve around 50% closed.
Here is the impeller after I started to clean it a bit.
