    Stick it back in the box, take it back to the store and ask for an exchange?

    Was it hooked to a surge protector?

    Where did you buy it from? Taking it back or calling them if purchased online would be the first option. Next would to be call the manufacturor.

    in this case i think it should be an easy fix. what you can do this to make sure your pump is not 100% dead.

    take the pump cover out with the impeller in the pump. plug the cord into the pump and see if the impeller spinning or not. this should get the impeller start up and pump back to normal. let us know how result goes and good luck.

    if you purchase is just in the few weeks, don't worry it's still under warranty. please email [email protected] to get an RMA # and your pump replace. the person that will be helping you is Sandy as she's in charge of the RMA department.
