Bought brand new, going into service 7/23. I noticed early today on my apex that my PH was down to 8.1, so I knew something was up.when I got home the skimmer was off (it’s plugged into the black EB, the orange is full). The control pad had a error message. So I pulled it out and could tell it needed a really good cleaning. When I took the pump apart, by simply twisting the front cover off, I was shocked. There is clearly water getting into the shaft area. There is a metal bearing, and other exposed metals, including the magnet. You can see the putting the salt water is doing to the magnet. When I cleaned it up it is apparent that there was some rust colored stuff coming out of it. This wasn’t a cheap skimmer and my LFS, who I bought it from thinking I would support the local guy. I found out the hard way that once you leave the store, it’s on you. I always that that was the case with live goods, not dry goods. Anyway… anyone have this happen before ? I assume I can track down a new motor to replace this one with.
