Wavebox won't work

I bought a used wavebox and it was demonstrated to me. I ended up never used it and it has been stored for 6 months. I sold it tonight and the buyer said it won't come on. No lights from the controller or anything.

Ideas?
 
Couple things could happen.

1. You have salt build up in side the pump that cause the impeller to stuck

2. During the 6 months in storage, the driver may get wet due to humidity or left over water from the wavebox pump

3. User error :D

Tell the guy to take the pump apart, thoroughly clean it make sure no calcium build up ANY where in the motor block, propeller or in the back of the pump. Make sure the unit properly installed and when he plug in the core, make sure that socket has power :D. Last time i check the writing in the back of the pump it doesn't list the expiration date :lol:. J/K

Also, check the connections. Maybe some salt or something at the connectors.

Talking about salt inside the connections. 2 years ago i receive an PM from a fellow tunze user. He complain about the alarm sound off from his 6100 tunze stream pump. After an hour helping him over the phone i decided to take a drive to his house. I arrived at his house 1.5hr later and found out his driver box is full of salt build up inside. It burn a hole through the aluminum cover :(. I carefully remove the driver and clean it out really good, air dry the unit for couple hours and hook it back up.... Guess what? The alarm stop but the driver decided to release smoke :(... He ended up replace the driver. I learn my lesson "never mount the driver or any electronic component inside the stand next to the sump.....
 
i am the one that bought the wave box...here are the symptoms

1. no lights turn on or beebing noise from the controller or driver

2. transformer getts hot to the touch

3. checked the connections, no salt creep or anything in there
 
The driver is dead. If it is less than 2 years old and didn't get wet it would be covered under warranty. Send the complete pump (motor, driver, transformer) and the controller to:
