Hi all,
I learnt the hard way that Tunze ATU pumps are not self priming.
Ie even with the atu chamber full, if you don't prime the pump it will still burn out regardless of being fully submerged.
A little silly if you ask me considering a cheap R400 atu can do this but an expensive Tunze unit cannot.
Anyway, this is not covered by the Tunze warranty and Tunze want R400 for a replacement 12v pump which I think is crazy expensive.
Does anyone know where I can buy a similar pump at a reasonable price?
Preferably a pump that actually self primes!
I am happy to accept that using a non Tunze pump with void the warranty.
