Problem with CSP Mag
 

Hello guys,
I made a very foolish thing last year and bought 2 CSP Mags from DTek.
To make a long story short one of them started rattling like crazy while the other just won't start.
I disassembled the noisy one and found out that the rattling came from the impeller, the magnet inside it was completely loose. I applied a small amount of silicone to it and attached it to the impeller again. It appears to be working now, at least it's running while I type this.
The big problem is the other one. I would like to ask if someone has any ideas. After disassembling it completely (I even removed the back plate to test the cable for contact) I realized it works but only if I start moving the impeller first. Comparing it to the other one, it seems the magnet is too strong and the pump can't start by itself just with a power up. If I move the impeller manually or if I shake the pump it starts working. I even tried using a different power supply with 13.5V to see if it would start but no luck.
So are there any options for me or should I just throw it away? Return it back is not an option since I live in Brazil and it already costed me a small fortune to get these pumps here because of taxes. Just imagine sending it back for repair :cry:

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Have to ask. You didn't run either of the pumps dry did you?

No, I figured out one of them wasn't working only after everything was connected and the whole system was filled with water.
Of course after the pump didn't start I opened it and that's when I realized that moving the impeller manually would get it started.
