I can get just about 1 full turn of the impellor on the magnet. I have cleaned all the scum up and it is clean as a whistle.

The impeller is the only replaceable/repairable moving part of the typical mag pump. You can probably get one for around $10 and give it a try. If that doesn't help, then the pump is more than likely done.

Thumbs up
I've got another pump I used to have in an outdoor pond that I have temporarily hooked up and it seems to be working pretty good.

I still want to get the other pump figured out though.
