Pump Dying?

[timvz]

Hello All. I haven't been on here in a long time, but thought I'd ask this question before I go buying a new pond pump. I have a three year old Laguna Max Flo 4200. Yesterday the flow suddenly dropped. I pulled it out, checked it, cleaned it all out including pulling out the impeller shaft, put it back together, same slow rate. Tonight I inspected it again and thought it dealt much hotter than usual. Seems it shouldn't be too hot running under water and all. What do you think. Order a new one? Thanks!

If it has a warranty replace it. But if it doesn't, is there something stuck in the impeller (that is if its open impeller)? My guess is its just dying out basically..

have u checked it with a new pipe? can be that ur pipe is blocked , just last thing u can check then it must b weak winding need to replace asap

I'm guessing it's dying too. Line is snaked. Even unattached to the line it doesn't seem to move as much water. Going to purchase a new one today.

ah ok, well good luck.

I got a 4 year warranty with mine and laguna is always happy to help with a pump they make

It was pump death. Picked up a new on yesterday, and flow is back to normal. Thanks, everyone!
