Review on πŸ’¦ AquaClear Impeller Assembly: Enhancing Power Filter Performance by Jenny Gase

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Aquaclear 70, 7 years old. Just replace the entire unit, fix it, it's a headache in this situation

Good. I have 3 aquaclear 70s on the back of my fancy gold tank and I bought them 7 years ago and they have been great reliable units except the impeller sometimes got stuck and needed a bit of turning to start after a power outage or shutdown for the Cleaning, this is the first engine failure I've encountered. After one of my pumps was extremely noisy for weeks and then refused to run continuously for more than a few seconds and started to fail after 30-40 spin attempts, I ordered this impeller and it arrived with a cracked impeller blade. thought ok no problem i will take the one from the broken pump so i build the pump out of the filter and then find out the motor shaft has kinda halved itself in the last 7 years at this point i have to order a replacement shaft now and get one Sending replacement impeller assembly to replace third party which therefore arrived defective. instead of this headache i just buy a brand new aquaclear 70 and send it back
