    aqua forte 3000 variable pump error codes

    Hello all

    I'd like some help please if possible, after a 3 month lay up on my pump I've turned it back on and keep getting error code 01, I've looked this up but aqua forte don't really tell you the resolution, its not on an extension cable, I've tried running on 30% right up to 50% but still stops after a short period error 01. It used to work on this system fine nothing has changed, the pump has been off for around 6 weeks whilst I tried to find a leak in the pond. the water is now thick green and I really need to get this up and running any advice please? Thank you

    Hard to tell without pictures what your installation is like.
    Or what the pump is connected to, and could be causing the problem.

    But I'd start by cleaning and descaling the pump as per the instructions in the manual.
    If it has been sat for weeks without running, I'd imagine all sorts of bacterial mulm could have been building up inside it

    Obvious I know, but have you a; cleaned the basket filter if fitted/pump in pond and b; removed the impellor housing and cleaned it all out?

    Edit; Didn't see Dave's post first

    touching wood didn't help

    its very intermittent, sometimes it will run for days then stop other times it runs for a few minutes?

    what did you find when you cleaned the pump out?
