I was repairing an FX5 that was giving me signs of the impeller giving out . Well the impeller part came and I proceeded to disassemble.
Upon pulling impeller out of housing I noticed the impeller well was full of water ? ( note I bought this unit used) .
In looking at the FX5 information on the net they only make reference to a motor housing seal/gasket that prevents the unit from leaking on the floor.
It seems a gasket is missing the one that fits between the impeller housing and the impeller , which would explain the water in the magnetic rotor well ..
My question is what is the PN # for this internal seal ? I cannot find reference to it anywhere and all the online vendors carry is the main seal between the motor and the canister housing ( Fluval FX5/6 Replacement Motor Seal Ring (Fluval A-20207)).
Anyone know where i can get the impeller seal/gasket w/o having to go to a hardware store and kluge one together , what is this PN # ?
Thank you
