got an 11-SQF-2 with dead electronics but happy pump end if you wanted to do
some swapping. GF instructed me to take a new unit out of inventory to replace
this under warranty & they didn't want the failed unit back.

RE-wrenches<BR><B>Subject:</B> [RE-wrenches] Pump end repair needed_helical
rotor SQFlex<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Hello, Wrenchies~
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I supplied the Grundfos SQFlex 11 SQF-2 helical rotor pump to a client
back in the good old days before dear Grundfos decided us solar guys weren't
good enough to shepherd their pumps. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Serious drought caused the well to dry up; the pump got pulled but did
not get a rinse-through with clean water. The mud inside the rotor dried out
and cemented the rotor in place. I think the motor is fine but is repeatedly
going into self-protect mode since things won't turn. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>My client needs a repair that I am not qualified to handle since...after
all...I'm just a solar guy not good enough to receive customer support from
the Mother Ship.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Authorized Grundfos pump guy #1 opened things up, declared that the
machined rubber volute was chewed, and he offered to install parts from his
shelf, but his parts were for model 6, not 11 so the gallons per minute would
go way down. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Authorized Grundfos pump guy #2--the wholesaler in El Paso from whom I
originally bought the pump--says these are never repaired, just replaced and
of course for close to $3000.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Non-authorized pump guy me finds the universe to be absurd at times but
not this absurd...surely not this absurd...</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So there's my dilemma of the week, Friends. Kindly point the way to any
shop that could repair this problem child. Thanks & Jolliness, </DIV>
