The problem with these cheap pumps, is the impellers center shaft is plastic, and breaks. I put a steel shaft in mine and have not had any more issues. If the shaft breaks, the magnetic center gets lodged, and will not spin.

Mine was the shaft or ceramic pin it broke. I got a metal shower curtain hook and bent it straight and cut to size .works great

La parte que parece desgastada no lo esta. Es asi de fabrica. Puede ser que tu bomba se quedo trabada con algun desgaste que no era necesariamente esa parte que rellenaste con teflon y tape

Oi tem como ser em português O meu filtro só está com barulhinho e jogou só um pouquinho e já parou

thanks! this helps a lot. but in my case, it was not the impeller. instead, it was the middle shaft that was broke. it was made of plastic. I would just order a replacement made with steel. but it would take too much time. so I just cut a plastic rod with a same size to a same length and replaced it. now it works well. untill it breaks again. I might as well order the steel rod in the mean time.

Plumbers rape isnt tape. That's why its not sticky. Its intended to wrap threads on water connections to prevent leaks

Gracias desde México, I must say you saved me, Thanks! its working again

Trata de hacer el audio en español para los latinos por favor

You rock

You rock! I tried everything too and this got it working again. Thank you!

Heat shrink tubing might work better than electrical tape at the end, it won't unwrap if the edge gets caught.

I like women like you.You may not know what the parts are but you sure get things done.

The part you cleaned and taped is called a magnetic impeller...these pumps are built same principle as aquarium pumps ie a bio-wheel system...Intex has no info on this but you will find it on aquarium pages...thank for your video, you were spot on 👍👍👍

It’s helpful, mine work too.

Is it 530 gal/hr?
