I have an ASM G3 skimmer that uses a sedra 5000 pump. The impeller on the pump has swollen making it have problems spinning. Has anyone experienced this problem? Apparently it is a known issue. I know I can replace the impeller but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as I don’t want to have to replace the impeller every so often. Any thoughts?
Matt, it happens to most pumps no matter what kind, if it uses magnetic impeller. With constant running it will swell up and also mess up the wall enclosure as well. The best thing for it is to replace it. My MAG 24 and some other off the wall pump did the same thing, I just replace it.
Same happened to my has German built skimmer. I had to buy a new impeller assembly.
Looks like ill be buying a new impeller! Anyone want to make an order from marine depot?
