Sucess with an EZflora! It went dead last week and I found this thread. I replaced the caps from Digikey. The caps didn't have any physical damage, leaking or swollen, but C13 was gone based on the ESR value. So, even if they look good and have good capacitance the ESR might be way off causing it to malfunction. Original capacitor values are as follows after I measured them. C3: 6.6uf, ESR = 8.2 Ohms C7: 9.9uf, ESR = 7.1 Ohms C8: 10.37uf ESR = 16 Ohms C11: 91.4uf, ESR = 2.0 Ohms C13: 10.37uf, ESR = 62 Ohms

I use the Chillipepper pump and it works well, but is loud. I have it setup using an insteon light switch and a I/O linc. The light switch is connected to the shower fan and linked to I/O linc. When the light turns on the pump starts until hot water reaches the faucet then turns off. I have been using it like this for over a year now without problems.
