Impeller and Shaft

A clogged impeller is often the primary cause of all ﬁlter faults, so it is extremely important

to clean and inspect your impeller every month to ensure it is functioning correctly

and remove any debris. Keeping the impeller clean will improve the performance of your

ﬁlter and lengthen the life of the motor. The impeller itself is a perishable part and will be

subject to wear and tear overtime. As a result, it is also very important to replace your

impeller and ceramic shaft annually.

To gain access and clean your impeller and shaft

open up the ﬁlter (disconnect the pipes and turn the

ﬁlter oﬀ). You should be able to then see the

impeller through an impeller guard in the middle

of the motor head. Turn the impeller guard and pull

it away and out of

the motor head - you will then have full

access to the impeller and shaft.

Simply wash this and clean this with your aquarium water (from a water change)

- whilst doing this you will be able to check that the impeller and shaft are both in good

condition. When returning this to the motor head ensure this is seated correctly with the

two rubbers on either end of the shaft (sometimes the rubbers stay in the holes that

they ﬁt into and will not be obviously evident when ﬁrst removing the impeller and shaft).

Note: Handle the ceramic shaft with care as this can break very easily during the cleaning

process.
