Answer:

Hi Paul

Id like to point you to the following articles as there could be a few reasons for the pump not restarting including:

Wear inside the grommet housings

Damaged/scratched impeller coating causing it to swell

Grommets and suction plate not installed correctly

Blocked air tap or venturi

Outlet flow direction flap stuck to one side

Stator/motor block worn inside the impeller well that has caused the surface to heave or split

If you find any parts need replacement they are available from the D-D spares dept by mailing them at
