ok my power head 802 is not working it sucks up water when it wants to does any know how to fix it or should i just get a new one i have the same problem with one of my filters any ideas thanks in advance
 
just pull the impeller out, clean it and the hole it goes into also. should fix your problem, also inspect that the ends are all still perfect5ly round.
 
use a tooth brush to clean out the holes
 
ok i cleaned it and still nothing i could here it trying to move but the impelleror wont spin but the magnet is spinning do i need to buy a new impeller and if so where can i get it im in socal or if any one has any ideas
 
the magnet and the impeller spin together, one can't spin more then 360* with out the other unless something is broke.

I know some powerheads have a poor design and need to be turned around and upside down to get the air oout before the work right.
