FarmerTy Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I believe that's the pump for his skimmer. Can you just order a new impeller Chris? Or is the pump itself shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mlaw Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 it is for the skimmer. I can't really tell what the problem is. when plugged in it doesn't make a sound. I can remove the impeller. It appears a little chewed up so I may order another and see if that solves my problem. Any other thoughts on trouble shooting this thing? I can't find much on the internet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 That's pretty much as far as I know. Does it try to spin at all even with the old impeller in it? Like can you manually spin it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mlaw Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 I can manually spin it but it feels like their might be a little catch. Shouldn't it hum or something when on, even if it can't spin the impeller?I'm going to order a new impeller and see if that fixes the problem. If not I'll keep it for a spare.

FarmerTy Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I don't think it hums or does anything without the impeller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viet'spride70 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I think that pump's motor is shot, since it is designed to operate with water circulates through to keep motor cool...but I could be wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mlaw Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 turns out it was the impellor after all. 10 points to Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
