    Did you have to pay for a new motor when you got yours or did you get it free gratis/gesture of good will sort of thing!?

    I’ll be non too happy if I have to start forkin out for new parts tbph as it’s not like the unit is that old!

    Being perfectly honest, mine has other issues besides to dodgy motor and jets, I’d ultimately like a replacement if I’m being perfectly honest to correct everything I know about. Doubt that’ll happen though somehow.

    Just hoping that the drum faulting like it has hasn’t damaged my main pump as when I went out last night and found the motor had died again I also saw my pump had stopped and was showing at error messageDraco Parts and Water Ingress, if it’s killed my pump then I’m pretty screwed tbh as I don’t have the money to go replacing that!!

    Hi, my motor was replaced FOC by Tony at Draco, no quibble. Did your waterpump run dry then? Shame you’ve had so many issues, as I have to say the drum has transformed my pond and Nexus...

    Mine was done FOC by the people i bought it off as they had a spare motor, not like they had too as it was out of warranty but they did it anyway as well as hopefully address some of the other issues in one way or the other as above.

    I’d agree that adding the Draco has definitely transformed my nexus too, I’d go as far as to say I wouldn’t have a nexus without one anymore - they make that much of a difference. Problem is it still only filters the one line and it can’t flow what I ultimately want too so it’ll get swapped out for a standalone and bio chamber when funds allow.

    I will say this though, water ingress seems to be the main issue with the Draco units, we know the junction box has been altered/improved because of this, but with the motors suffering too it does seem like Tony could really do with moving them out of the drum or some other solution so that the motors aren’t subject to getting blasted with water when the cleaning cycle happens.

    Bet the motors are the main weak point really now!

    Well it's looking good so far!

    it's been running about 24hours'ish now without faulting again so it looks like it's sorted.

    Wonder if it's worth keepin a spare motor on hand as this seems to be the most common failure/ weakest point!?
