Our Shurflo 5901-0211 Smart Sensor water pump just stopped working.
They are about $400 on Amazon which sucks, but I'm probably going to get one ASAP
...because my wife seems to be interested in showering soon.
Symptom: For the past few days, I've heard the pump run a little bit even if no water was running.
This is a new development that concerned me, but we just made sure to be extra careful to make sure the pump was off.
I was concerned about a leak, but I've looked around and didn't notice anything.
When the pump stopped, I replaced the pump fuse just to make sure, but that didn't help.
So, I'm guessing some seal in the pump failed and allowed water to bleed back through the pump.
I'm curios if I can refurbish it myself with a few parts and have the old one as a backup.
If I figure out how to fix this pump, I'll document the procedure in this thread.
This community has been a real blessing to my wife and I, and I'll do my best to return the favor.
