Red Sea Max C-130 RS 1550 Died

[Kenneth Russo]

Good afternoon. Yesterday turned power off in part of the house, today noticed that one of the "pumps/powerheads?", part RS 1550, no longer comes back on. Some googling yielded this as a replacement:

https://www.marineandreef.com/Red_Sea_Max_130_130D_Sicce_Circulation_Pump_p/rrs40344.htm

Is that the appropriate part? Are there perhaps better alternatives? My searching has found perhaps a cheaper alternative (e.g. Tunze 6015), but it also seems that the sky is the limit (e.g. http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/vorte...-marine.html?gclid=CLTj2tm2htMCFVQ7gQodcr8KVA).

I don't know much about this and want to ensure I understand our options.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know anything about that pump, but it looks like it should work.

Another option could be to contact Red Sea and get a replacement pump from them. That might be slower, though.

Hello Kenneth.
I also have a C-130. This has happened to me a couple of times when shutting the pump down. Before you purchase another one, try taking the pump out and giving the impeller a turn. Sometimes junk gets lodged in there when the pump shuts down. Worked for me.

I agree with Orlando-Jeff. I've had junk "grow" around the impeller magnet, where it stops turning. Cleaning it out has revived it about 3 times now!
