My Waveline DC6000 return pump died and it looks like the power supply is the cause.....volt meter reads 1 volt. Does anyone have recommendations for replacement. Not in any rush because I've put in a MAG 9.5 as the backup.

I've identify the following, but wonder if I'm missing some other source.

Amazon $12.29

Amazon $11.95

EBay $11.25

What Salty said. You just need something that's 24V/3A.

I myself would probably look for something UL-listed, if available, more for longevity than safety. I've bought more laptop power supplies and AC/DC converters for electronics projects than I can count, and the UL-listed ones generally last a lot longer. The no-name generics tend to cost less and they work, but the life expectancy for me was less than stellar.

A 24V/3A supply is a bit of an odd size, so you might not be able to find a UL-listed one. But that would be my choice if possible.
 
To finish this story, I purchased the middle power supply for $11.95 from Amazon. Plugged directly into the controller and the pump is back running. :)

Appreciate you making the reply; mine died sometime today and I was able to use your link to find a replacement still.

Edit: Just noticed my original adapter was a 24v 4.0a output. This one meets the power requirements (Gen1 DC6000) and also has the adapter for a 5.5x2.1mm plug.
