I'm giving up on my plum xl3 pumps. I bought one then another off eBay and had trouble getting them working.
I sent one and then the other off to a medical equipment repair shop in Ohio and had them both refurbished to "Patiant Ready" condition. This cost about $300 for each pump not counting shipping. I still have invoices for both.
These things in refurbished Patiant ready condition usually sell for around $900 each.
I would like to re-coup about half of what I have in each one. My cost off eBay was around $100- regurb cost $300 not counting shippingm. I would like to get $200 each not counting shipping.
The reason I am selling is I am obviously not qualified to operate medical equipment. Lol. My originalnproblems were getting " air in line error codes on a couple of the banks on each one. After refurb they worked great for a few months but the past month my Alk bank kept getting air in line code. I believe this is because of the alk I used. The Red Sea 1kg powder that I mixed to a 3 to 1 dilution ratio. The calcium still pumped fine in any bank I used.
Others on this forum have said they were using the b- ionic two parts without issue at the 3 to 1 dilution rate.
You set these to run at a ml per hour rate which was a great to keep all levels steady. My rate was 1.4ml per hour for calcium and 7ml per hour for alkalinity.
Any interest or questions please pm me.I'm not home now, but can get pics of each unit out of cabinet. One has been marked "Aquarium Use Only" and the other has no writing. Ready to dose two part and have one bank left over for Grandma's IV fluid or gin, whichever she prefers.
