    Default Shurflo 4008 seize ?

    Just went and hook up 4008 pump. And I hear it click for it to come on but nothing happens? This would be third season could it be seized?

    Run some warm water in it, then try again. Most likely the diaphragm is just stuck. You may want to run hot water in both ends, let set a minute or so, dump it, turn pump over and repeat on the other end. Then hook it back into your system.
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.

    Might be something in the pump too.... They are easy to pull apart to see what is going on...
