Hi Drake, We have a lot of these pumps in the field, operating without issue for many years, though they are generally operating on some sort of regular basis. But lots of customers with seasonal situations that may have the pump idle for 10 months a year.
I would suggest applying 12/24VDC battery power directly to the pump bypassing controller and see if you get any action, then can narrow down if it is a pump issue or a controller issue. Another issue is the waterproof gland if not done properly can result in connection issues. Have had a few of those.

It runs array direct. After installation, it worked fine. Since then, it has not been used. The client tried to operate it recently,and it didn't work. A red light is showing in the controller. How well do these systems hold up if not used? I haven't gone out to the site yet, but wanted to get some background from you water pumping guys about shelf life of idle systems.
