Hydrofoamer e-jet bushing

[downbeach]

Roger,

I have a 9011 skimmer. I removed the impeller for cleaning and in doing so, one of the bushings stuck to the base of the rotor, and fell off while I was cleaning it :headwalls:. I saw it go down the drain, and removed the trap, but it obviously got past it. It appears to be part # 9011.740. So, I have two questions:
1) Where can I get a replacement?
2) Is it possible/harmful to run the skimmer until I get a replacement?

Thanks again,

Jim

I don't think it would be safe to run it without, it also concerns me that this piece was easily accessible, in general that means the shaft fused to the impeller and came out with it. The shaft should stay in the pump, on the E-Jet it can be pushed back in, the socket is rather deep. Only the impeller with magnet should come out and the disk should stay at the base of the shaft. The disk is part 9011.740-

Thank you, I did put the order in. Any idea how long it will take, since I'll be without a skimmer until it gets here?
The shaft did not come out, only the magnet and impeller assembly, but the disk was stuck to the bottom of the magnet, and I didn't see it until it was too late.
