Roger I just bought a Tunze 230/3 from Aquatek and the pump runs for alittle bit then stops. I take it appart and it looks like it has no magnetic charge. I wait for a bit and then it gets it back. It runs for about 2 mins at a time. What could it be? I bought it on consignment today.

Drop it back off with them. I would notify them immediately because it could be a bad pump in which case the customer selling it should not get paid and once they pay him it will be harder to get a refund. Let them know, even just by phone but do it ASAP, drop it off and I will thoroughly go over it. It could be something simple like a parts misalignment but it could be something serious from the pump being allowed to run dry for a very long time. Once they know they can not pay until the issue is resolved so you can get a refund if it is bad. Sometimes that is a problem with consignments- dishonest people passing off broken stuff but I know they don't give anyone a second chance if they do that. I lean toward the idea it is a simple mechanical problem so don't panic but it could be more.
 
Thanks Roger, I took it by today and I gave it to Aaron and he said you were going to take a look at it. Thanks, I left my number too.
