I've had this Alpha 170 for a few years, the past almost 2 years in storage due to a divorce. When I set up my new system in April things were perfect. 2 weeks ago the RD1000 stopped working. I've had a handful of stoppages over the years and chalked it up to buildups. I thoroughly cleaned it and ran it under the faucet and it worked fine. However, when I connected it back up to the skimmer it looked like it was struggling to start. I pulled it apart and reassembled it and I now notice it feels like it's loose inside. Is there a way to ship it for service?
