Current USA wave pumps fail?

[Fernthereefer]

Hi,

Came home today to find my Current USA pumps stopped working. The controller just flashes every second. They are in a loop system.
Tried disconnecting and reconnecting everything to no avail.
This kit was first installed 6 months ago.

Happened to anyone?

I will have to put a trusty Jebao (ironic) in the meantime.

I will also contact Current USA to see if I can get some guidance. For now I am venting my frustration

Mine died at month 8, which was a bummer as they were the perfect size for my nano, I've kept up on monthly maintenance....but i guess you get what you pay for, ive replaced with better quality since

Yea, I had high hopes (on the cheap side) for it being an american product.

I figured it out: one of the pumps failed, causing a short on the loop manifold hub. Once removed, the other pump started working.

So yes, one pump failed already.

I had the same issue with one of mine at around 8 months the other were fine. I still have mine from a little over two years now and they all work. Contact current and they should send you a replacement pretty fast.

Same here. I've been in the replacement loop for years. I'm done and going with jabao to break free from the constant failure and replacement if your lucky that it fails within the warranty period of 1 year. Don't buy current usa wave pumps they all fail around the 1 year timeframe!!

latest update. Had 3 pumps over the years. 1 lasted 1 year, 1 lasted 6 mths and its replacement lasted 4 mths. So yea.

No I use mp40 and a fluval sea.

I agree after 3 main pumps (leaks) and at least 8 wave pumps. They fail 1 year or under. Too bad great functionality with ecosystem.
