i have a tunze nano skimmer that i picked up used from a friend.i dont think it is more than 4 or 5 months old. went to empty the collection cup today and noticed the pump was not running.i took the whole thing apart and cleaned pretty well.took the pump out and removed the impellor and cleaned as best i could inside.i did not take the shaft out because i was not sure if it comes out or not and did not want to break it.when i put it back together it still did not work.is there a common thing i should check?or is it likely that the pump is just out?
 
The pump may be dead. You are welcome to send it in and I can probably replace it under warranty.

i appreciate the fast response.i took it back apart and found a white buildup maybe 1/8 inch wide all the way around where the impellor magnet spins.about halfway down.calcium or salt i'd assume.i carefully scraped and rinsed it out.the pump came on and seems fine.i will see when i get home tonight.if it quits again can i bring it in or do i have to mail it?
