Enhance Aquarium Filtration with Marineland PRIM150B 150b Impeller Assembly Penguin Filter Parts Review

After I changed the impeller, the water consumption is higher than the old one. I think my old one has worn out and lost the ability to pump water into the filter.

I ordered these less than a month ago because the old one I had for almost 3 years was making noise due to wear and tear. I have photos of this impeller before and after 2 weeks of use.

EDIT: I use large pebbles for pads, so the last impeller lasted almost three years (don't use flat pads as they will wear out

But I think they make it clear and if you try you have no one to blame but yourself :) A little petroleum jelly between the stem and the plastic can also calm them down (and delay sand penetration problems) - you can use pliers to carefully remove one…

The impeller is an acceptable replacement for the 150 Bio Wheel Power Filter when you need it. If you buy this wheel you must have worn one out and if you are like me buy it in just 1 month!

I used very, very fine grit to get between the impeller shaft and the casing and sanded it down until large grooves formed on the impeller shaft. This
