pump replacement for Vertex Omega 150

[jacobl]

Folks, any suggestion of which pump to replace with?
My skimmer Vertex omega 150, only 2 yrs old and the pump went out, I think it shorted in the inside (it tripped my electrical plug every time I plug it in).

Thanks

Well FWIW - they have a 2x year warranty. Maybe contact them see what they can do?

Thanks, after further testing, seems I may have bad impeller. the pump actually on, but the impeller only vibrates instead of rotating. is this a sign of bad impeller?
I have emailed Adam at Vertex
Thanks

Take the impeller out and look at it. Maybe the magnet cracked.

Thanks, I checked the impeller, no crack. I am puzzled. any input is greatly appreciated

just fyi, Vertex cust svc is top notch. Adam at Vertex was able to diagnose my pump issue through email and pictures. Turns out I only needed to replace the bearing sets which is only $12 plus shipping. Just in case anyone encounters similar issue. the pump now works like new
