Need help! Vario S skimmer controller flashing red lights

[MrsBugmaster]

Was doing a water change and turned off skimmer using the power button on the controller like I usually do(RO 200 INT elite with Vario S pump and controller) and now it will not come back on. When I push the power button on the skimmer controller it will light up with blue lights like usual and within a couple seconds the 60min and 30 min starts flashings red and skimmer will not turn on again. What is wrong? is it the pump, contoller?
Thanks

The First thing I believe I would do is make sure the skimmer pump is clean and free of debris. It sounds like the controller could be alerting you to a jammed up pump. Make sure to clean the volute and impeller. Once you've done that my next course of action would be to physically unplug the skimmer and plug it back in. If the error continues then this is where you should go.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah It has been a few months since I cleaned the pump. Having some health issues preventing me from my normal maintenance. Find out next week if I need surgery on my shoulder. Sounds like I better take more ibuprofen and push through the pain and get it cleaned asap.

Sorry to hear that! I hope you feel better soon! Maybe have a Reefer friend give you a hand?
