Tunze 6045, starting up touble...

[cstires]

I just purchased four 6045's, for some reason, one of them starts in reverse about 95% of the time. I have to keep unplugging it, and plugging it in to get it to startup correctly.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!
Chris

Hi Chris,

You will need to send it in, please PM Roger "rvitko" and he will sort it on his return next week.

It could be just gummed up with some of the vaseline used in assembly. Take out the impeller and clean it. It is pretty rare for new pumps to have any other defect that could cause this.

Okay, I will tak it out tomorrow and give it a good cleaning. I'll let you know what happens.

Thanks,
Chris
