I've had the FX5 for about a year. About a week ago I noticed a disturbing grinding sound. I just finished taking it apart and cleaning the impeller assembly, alas the grinding continues. I followed the instructions as per http://www.hagen.com/pdf/aquatic/FX5_user_manual_EN.pdf page 22. Added a little bit of petroleum jelly to the impeller base.
Anybody else had this problem with their FX5? How did you go about fixing it? Replacement motor assemblies run upwards of $160. I paid $200 for this filter
