Power Supply out on 6055

[criecken]

I have a pair of these running on my tank.
One of the 2 had a power supply go out.
I swaped out power supplys between to the 2 as I intially thought it was the pump, but narrowed it down to being just the power supply.
These are not under warranty at this time.
Can I send it somewhere to be repaired? If not what is the fastest way for me to buy a replacement?

They are not repairable, but they are a typical aftermarket DC power supply for hard drives and small computer accessories, a local computer shop could probably get you set up. You can order them on Tunze.com as well, they are part 6055.240 and they run about $40.

Thanks Roger.
I have a power supply available from some computer equipment.
It runs DC 24V and .8 Amps
The Tunze supply reads 1.2 Amps...
so I don't know if that would be a problem running the lower amperage?

The 6055 power supply can deliver 30W, at full 24V the pump uses 21W, we always factor a safety buffer for the pump being jammed and drawing more and this tends to result in a cooler running power supply that isn't pushed to the limit. If you have it and you understand it may not last as long, it would be OK to use it short term, but I would probably find a better long term replacement and consider it just a temporary fix to get through a few days.
