Second transformer knackered...

[mysterio]

Does anyone use these step down transformers from ebay?

My first one gave up the ghost after, I would say approximately 10 - 15 hours use in aggregate. The second one I used didn't even make it to the end of the last brew session. Am I using the wrong transformer? Here's the specifications for the pump

Specs look ok for your pump
Perhaps you need one that can hack a bit more wattage (should be able to handle it from the specs but hey)
or try one that you didn't get from ebay!

I talked to the guy who sold me it on ebay, apparently 1.2A is overloading it slightly, he's kindly offered to send me a new one though.
