Hi!
Having huge problems with a unstable system now with 2 EK PWM DDC pumps. It seems they fail to spin up which of course quickly overhead my system and renders it unbootable. I've switched from one of the pumps to the other and it worked for a while, but now that one is doing the same. Dismantling the loop and pump to check if it spins (advice from customer support when I first reported it) and it won't spin unless I manually spin it a bit first (doing this very briefly in order not to burn them out).
Stupid thing is I did submitt a RMA for one of the pump, but after following the advice of support and testing it dry and it did spin up back then I decided to just replace the non spinning pump with the previously RMAd one I had (that one had a dead PWM board and would only run at 100%).
Anyone know what is going on with these pumps? Have they lived out their life and need to be replaces now? Wonder if there's a point of getting another DDC or if I should replace it with a D5 instead? (Not that I can afford it right now, I guess I will just have to keep the computer on and never allow the pump to spin down).
Thoughts? Advice? cause of action?
