I bought another one as a back up 4-29-24 the thing is a tank. I ran it dry twice and still performing well it looks like you can pull apart to get to the impeller to clean it. They will start to slow down with little fiber wrapping around impeller. I’m almost at a year and still functional. I think it has slowed down a little bit but not bad. I would like to see the back cap and front cap not as flimsy with a stiffer plastic. The impeller house was turned counterclockwise and came off very easy. The cap was removed and a very small metal shaft the the magnetic impeller spins on came out the had a neoprene nipple on the shaft. I was hoping to find fibrous vegetation around the impeller because I have noticed a slight slow down. The shaft had some burrs on it and I sanded it smooth. Other than that removed brown alagea residue and I Had waterproof silicone grease coated the metal rod and notice wear on the retaining cap that I removed so I coated that also. Reassembled the pump very easy no real tools required. I should of put the pump in a bucket to get any oil residue that spins off the shaft it wasn’t a lot but I will alway pre run before placing back in pond from now on. Did a water change just to be safe. My slow down was Debris build up inside the tubing. Pump was quit. I can see the shaft metal rod wearing out and it should of been made stainless steel. When this pump fails it will be due the severe wear on the shaft or the impeller fins break off the impeller.
