![]() Usually, the impeller eithe breaks, or sticks to the magnet. The impeller is supposed to flop around about 3/4 turn on the magnet. If the impeller doesnt flop easily, clean it and retry

![]() 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.

![]() 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.
