Sorry to hear of your troubles. Typically you wouldn't see a failure in a meth kit with adequate failsafes. Wish you the best with the new motor.

Did you have the Aquamist flow sensor and DDS display guage? If it was set up right, the flow sensor failsafe should have saved you even if there was a problem. If you do find out the cause of the failure for sure, please post it up. Thx.
