ATK v2 pump runs for 1-2 seconds stops/starts. Anyone every bring one of these back from the dead?

Reviews indicate these things last about a year if that. Should have read them first. No response from Neptune. They are probably tired of hearing from me after going through so many Apex units. Finally on one that works btw. So throw it in the trash and buy a Tunze? Pump has no obstructions. Looks clean just does not want to do more than spin up and stop. Ruled out all the other ATK/Apex related issues. I'm running it on full/manual.

Sorry to hear you're having issues. The gen 1 sensors & pumps had issues but since gen 2 all seems better. I went 2 years on gen 1 stuff until they "went south". But I'm going on 4 years plus on 2 tanks and no issues.
You wouldn't be dosing kalk via your ATO tank would you? Kalk is abrasive and destroys pumps in short order regardless of whos brand.

Nope. Just just sits in the ato with rodi.
