Suddenly my Grundfos water pump of 9 years (installed in 2013), couldn’t start. I thought it was due to clogged pipe to the water pump.

My Grundfos Water Pump type is CM5 and 1 horsepower.

I called plumber and electrician whether they can do but on second thought better I called direct Grundfos Support Service.

I contacted Advanced Pro Solutions, reseller and Grundfos repair specialist. I contacted early in the morning and able to get appointment on the same day! To my surprise, response and appointment was very fast.
