Replacement impellers for Quiet One 3000 & 4000?

[pookstreet]

Anyone know where I can get replacement impellers for the 2 QO pumps mentioned. Both of mine are stuck and I can't get them to spin, even after multiple vinegar soaks and brushing. Thanks.

Marine Depot or check with Pentair Aquatics in El Monte, CA.

Thanks. I'll check with Pentair. Marine Depot doesn't list any replacement parts on their website.

Try to get the ceramic shaft out of the center so the vinegar can do it's work. Careful though the shaft might chip or break.
Or you might try something a little more caustic.

More caustic like muriatic acid or is that too much? Any suggestions? Thanks.

I had the same promblem on my 3000 it stop spinning. They sent me a bushing for the shaft/impeller to correct. Works fine now. Here is the point of contact at pentair.

You are talking about the Sedra 3500, right? I don't think they make a QO 3500. Actually, if it is the needle wheel impeller for the Sedra 3500, I'll take it. I have one on my ER CS6-1 skimmer and a backup impeller is always good to have. LMK. Thanks.
