| Audio Desk Systeme - Vinyl Cleaner – Repair of Water Pump Failure One further item regarding this black pump. It is not self-priming. So give that its impeller is not near the bottom as on the other pumps, you need to make sure that there is at least 2” of water in the tank for it to start pumping. Now presumedl... | |
| Audio Desk Systeme - Vinyl Cleaner – Repair of Water Pump Failure As an update, my original “pro” pump is from China as ZKSJ DC40A-2440 and supposedly is rated for 30K hours.

| Audio Desk Systeme - Vinyl Cleaner – Repair of Water Pump Failure @decibell, thanks for the response and pictures. I don't believe the pump stops during the wash cycle for 3 reasons. First, the filter in the rear doesn't have a purpose if the water is not continuously circulating. Second, there is no cover that ... | |

| Audio Desk Systeme - Vinyl Cleaner – Repair of Water Pump Failure After receiving the pictures, I can see that it is the ultrasonic generator and that the water fills up through the edges. My pump has stopped so it’s now time for surgery. | |
| Audio Desk Systeme - Vinyl Cleaner – Repair of Water Pump Failure There appears to be a white insert in the output of the pump as viewed from the top. Does the water pass through this as its porous or does it move? Is it part of the unit or the pump itself?Thanks,Mark | |
