Ya man i was pretty gutted, still am...but it is what it is, im all about finding solutions rather than dwelling on the bad shit lol
Its not a spare cooler, its the same cooler they just got moved from....they are back in there for the time being.

Yeah.. just meant somewhere to put them
and i would rather have a pump die on day 1 than when out of warranty. glad they will be ok.

Oh ya for sureYeah.. just meant somewhere to put them
i already contacted the company on amazon, we will see what they have to say.
Fuck, brutal man.fkn disaster struck some time this morning....the new pump stopped working. Fkn thing cost me $130 cdn, only got it yesterday lol....the 2nd pump i ordered isnt scheduled to be here for another 2 weeks yet
I walked in the room to 8 awful looking clones. Wilting hard.
So i moved them back into the cooler for now. I might convert 2 of the big totes to the standard aero approach with the pump and manifold and water all in the tote. This way i can use my smaller pumps that i have here and know they work.
Could have been much worse as i was about to head out riding skidoo for the day, so i popped in the room to check on the bigger girls, to see if they needed water. They would have been all dead by this evening when i planned on getting home.
Skidoo fun is cancelled, more aero work to be done lol.
Im finishing this run in aero,come hell or high water. either they get to harvest or they die trying.
Can you tell us the brand, etc, if you don't mind?
You bought it from amazon and you haven't already just clicked "return", boxed it up and sent it?
Returns/exchanges are easy with amazon, slightly less so if third party seller.

If you ever get any crap items from amazon make sure to leave a bad review.. i almost always get a refund or instant replacement doing that.. sometimes both.

What size do you use? The 350 seems to have a slight rattle sound within, the first one I had some threads that were broken on the output side that I returned, it also had a slight rattle sound.

I get a rattle sound when I lift it out of the water. I use a garden hose chunk on the end so I can vacuum the crud out. It’s quite when under water. I assume some turbulence is causing air to get in?if not check when u take it apart how much end play u have. Maybe it’s the mag slapping the sides? Not sure.oh and I have a 250 and a 350. Also a 700 to do res changes.

I use mine inline, its attached to the bottom of my res bucket. Slight rattle but its working good, going to get another one to have on hand incase of failure as I'm running a RDWC waterfall setup.

Could be the load or the pressure on the intake side.See if its quieter next res change when the level is real low.
