Vertex Omega 180i replacement impeller

[nbsdsailor]

Anyone know where to buy a replacement impeller for an Omega 180i skimmer?

Are they still having impeller problems?

No, my own stupidity. Magnet grabbed it from me and broke the shaft. I hate ceramic shafts.

Try BRS I will not remove my magnet from my vertex simmer to clean it I just run in vinegar for 24 hours. Too easy to break them magnet is stronger than the shafts.

Yea the magnet is crazy strong on these Sicces. Are these shafts ceramic or plastic? Almost looks like plastic. I just noticed the pump is a PSK1000. The PSK1000 stock needle wheel doesn't look exactly the same, but its only $40.

In case anyone else runs into this issue I had to buy it through proline aquatics. $48 for a new impeller. Not bad.
