corrosion

Hi all, I have an Evo-heat heat pump located in Australia. I have had it just on three years and now the unit has totally failed. It's a expensive 27kW 3 phase unit. The techs said the unit failed because; 1 - the coupling to the water pipes was not properly installed so pool water ended up...

Hi - I’m trying to determine if this can be repaired or if I should replace? Original problem: humming when pump comes on. Checked capacitor, it’s fine. Diffuser not clogged. Impeller seems to be stopping and not rotating completely? Removed motor from seal plate and there seems to be a...
