The pumps work today! Boy was it a pain wiring the Marathon Electric Motor. I dropped a nut into the motor and then had to remove the motor off its mounts…. fun fun fun! Then I had a leak (last picture) but it was easy to fix. We will see what happens tomorrow because the RO tank might overflow!
I still had a hard time today trying to get the dead motor off the stand. Most of the bolts came off and 2 were to far corroded and rounded that there was no way. So I had to take out the grinder.
I tried to install a new motor today and failed. The old motor seems to be rusted to the base. I need to get some different tools and try again tomorrow. I did unscrew all the wires today and dump out all the crap from inside the multistage pump, which consists of a bunch of plastic cylinders?
