Will burned up pump affect RODI water

[jimmypencil]

I was degassing RO water in a trash can and sending it through DI canisters into another trash can. When i woke up for work this morning i realized my MJ1200 pump was burned out because i let it run dry for too long. it was about 5 inches above the bottom of the trash can. i used the mj1200 pump with the venturi intake to degas the water but i used a different pump (sicce utility pump) to pump the degassed water through the di into the other trash can.

Is it likely that the mj1200 pump affected my water when it burned out? there was a slight smell and the pump was really hot but im guessing less than a gallon of the water was affected by this. If its necessary ill dump all that water but i just wanted to check and see if im paranoid lol. Im pretty sure the sicce pump was fine running dry for that amount of time.

the tds on the output was still 1 and im sure its one and not zero because i put my hand in the trash can before i checked this morning. i also put my hand in the rodi trash can to make sure there wasnt any stray voltage and i didnt get shocked.

Only thing i would be worried about is the magnet rubbing on the inside causing iron dust. I would just dump it, replace the pump and go at it again.
I always have my degas pump suctioned to the bottom of the brute facing up but to also negate this you should unplug the degas pump before plugging in the transfer pump

You can also time your transfers and get funky with some timers and level controls if you really want to cover your bases lol

when i put the pump lower in the chamber, i cant see airbubbles coming out any more, and i can hear the venturi attachment sucking less air. I usally can only put the pump like 8-10 inches below water line before i see the air bubbles stop forming. does it really not matter where the pump is placed? i could have the trashcan filled all the way up and have the pump stuck to the bottom?

Yea i honestly use one of these with a large air diffuser sunk into the bottom AND a pump stuck to the bottom facing up.

Then you dont need the venturi intake if you have an airstone. I just use the mj1200 to mix the water while its degassing.

Ive even had good luck with just the pump pointed upwards and no airstone.

Just had a massive powerhead about 5 inches off of the bottom of a 50 gallon drum pointing up and at an angle for mixing water.
