koralia question

I noticed my evo 1050 wasn't working today and when i opened it up the O ring came rolling out. Where does the O ring belong? Does it go on the end of the magnet or does it have to slide up the magnet and fit between the magnet a impeller? Can't find a picture on hydors website.
 
Thanks for looking. I opened up a brand new 750 also and didn't see one in there either, weird. I managed to find a spot on the 1050 that the ring fits in and its working so i'll leave it that way until it craps out again.
While pondering the O ring mystery, i went into my closet to look for another powerhead. Found a SeaFlo upgrade kit for a maxi-jet. Hooked it up to a spare mj1200 and was pleasantly surprised. The whole unit is approximately 1/4 smaller than the koralia and puts out much more flow.
 
No, didn't add anything to it and never had it apart until last month. It had stopped working about a month ago so i took it apart and cleaned it. When initially opened it up the o ring was lying in the bore. I didn't know where it belonged so i put it on the very end of the impeller assembly cap below the magnet. It stopped working again yesterday and when i opened it up there was the o ring again, lying in the bore, not where i had left it. This time i noticed that there is a small gap between the magnet and the end cap of the impeller assembly. I rolled the o ring over the end cap and seated it in that gap. Seemed to fit in there just right so thats where it's staying for now. Its running. Maybe its a spare part that was accidently left behind in manufacturing?
Wish i had another SeaFlo kit. I'd get another maxi-jet and hook it up. The seaflo kit on the maxi-jet blows away the stock koralia in terms of flow. Thanks to whoever donated the seaflo kit to one of LIRAs raffles.
 
Well not trying to start a wavemaker war, but should be getting one of the jebaos to play with soon. Ill put up a post and see how it does
 
Sounds good. Are the jebaos available at most online retailers or do the have to be ordered directly from the manufacturer?
