    Yep, you'll need a new impellar. That came from Euroreef right? Try contacting Reef Dynamics, as that is the company's new name / business.

    Gotta service that skimmer every now and again. is that the sleeve form inside the motor or is it just impeller. you may need a new pump, because that looks like it is impeller and the internal sleeve in that pic.

    I am seeing imbedded adds on this blog only, is that reefaddicts.com or is that some in my browser doing that? the word business is Marc's reply and the word power in Umike's post have imbeeded adds attached to them?

    See no imbedded adds on Safari browser from my end. I appreciate your concern for others safety from your end though. Keep up the good work.

    Tend to agree with Midnight, the integrity of the impeller well (hole) may be compromised which could lead to excessive play on a new impeller. If further wear were to occur inside that well water could enter the motor windings leading to fire or worse electrocution.

    I contacted coralVue they are sending mea new pump. now my question is how to determine if i can get just a impeller to have a backup pump?
