VinsonMassif Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 My Powerhead is 1200lph. I clean it regularly. It has started becoming noisy. A rattly noise. Do I need a new impeller? Or new Powerhead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Usually new impeller and shaft. You can try bandaids like wrapping a bit of tape around the shaft to make it not rattle so much, but that's just temporary. Or you can just ignore it.

phoenix44 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 checked to see if the ceramic rod is broken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 also rubber mounts on shaft can harden and wear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinsonMassif Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I thought it could be the rubber mounts. I switched the rubber mounts around and the impeller shaft. It is quiet atm. Will order a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
