I spent last few weeks troubleshooting an RO system in our lab. I finally got it working today after replacing a number of parts.
The question is this: one of the parts I replaced was a pump, both the motor and the pump head. The pump head was practically seized from brown sludge accumulated from water. I did not chance leaving same motor in. After that, it also turned out that the fuse on the board powering the pump was blown. I just would like to confirm my assumption that a motor would draw excess current as it is "trying" to work harder.
I have been getting conflicting information throughout my troubleshooting so would like to know that my assumptiin about why that fuse blew is correct.
Thank you
