I have been running 2x max flo 2000's on my 225. They have been running great and without any issue. I have them hooked up to tetra pond boxes in my sump. About 2 weeks ago I noticed my filter socks were overflowing, but my son was sick and I was having to make multiple trips to the Dr so it was the last thing on my mind. Well I noticed the overflow was directly over the pondbox and it was spitting micro bubbles out the return. I didn't pay much attention. Well 2 days later I went to address the issue and notice that specific pump wasn't working at all. I pulled it and took it apart. It all looked to be good. I read about a bearing issue that was fairly common so I decided to replace the impeller and bearing (sold as a kit). Now when I plug it in the motor starts to spin, then stops, then spins, then stops and finally spins a 3rd time. After 3 short low speed bursts it pauses 3 seconds or so then does it again. It does this 3 times then does nothing after that. Its like it is trying to pump but is being hindered. I can't figure it out. Really glad I got 2 pumps instead of 1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Josh
