Hi anyone else have any trouble with mini lime pumps siphoning back water into the tank causing the pump to start and stop.
On the older models they used to provide a long tube off the pump to loop round to prevent this but the tube is much shorter now so you can't do that anymore.
Have ordered some non return valves from climate centre just hope the pump is strong enough to pump thro it.
Just wondered other peoples thoughts ta

Yes you can buy just the Motor and it should be available from any Wholesaler that sells the full kit.
If not give Aspen Pumps a ring and they will ring the Wholesaler and b*ll*ck them! :D


In general though all these small pumps are toss and your far better fitting a Aspen Universal Peralstatic unit instead! ;)

iam a big fan off the aspen but i find them too big and loud for hotels and offices,its like mounting a small car above the roof but other than that great pumps
