Need help/advice fixing my spot free booster pump

[trendycw]

Hello everyone, I have a booster pump that isnt working for my spot free system. Unfortunately it was ran dry. The pump gets hot but doesn't turn on at all. Is there any way to fix it? I attached some pictures of the pump with the model number on it.

How long was it ran dry? If for a long period, probably toast.

Check the capacitor under the cover on the motor.

Ok. I'll give that a look. It was definitely ran dry for a while...Like at least a week worth of customers trying to use the spot free rinse....

A 15 yr old pump, run dry for a week... holy cow. Time for a new motor/pump. It comes as a single unit. On some RO systems the pump and motor can be replaced independently.

Your RO system should have a Low Pressure Switch that turns the pump off if you have insufficient feedwater pressure - so that your pump doesn't run dry. Does your RO not have such a switch? Or is the switch bad?
