help with eheim pump

[niloc16]

i have the 200-1260 h&s skimmer and the eheim impeller has broke. the needle wheel part of it has seperated from the shaft and does not spin. i have tried to crazy glue it back together and it worked for about 5 minutes. where in the heck do i go to get a new impeller. i have no skimmer running right now so its a little stressful

I'd check with J&L. They carry Deltec which also uses needlewheel Eheims. I think that you'd have to check the US for an H&S Eheim needlwheel. Regardless, it won't be cheap!

ok so i have tried J&L , aquatic addictions, and some store in calgary. i have also tried to size up other needle wheel impellers to work with no bloody luck. can ANYONE tell me where the heck to go to get another impeller. seems like no one is carrying the H&S line either anymore to get an impeller from them. i have tried to contact H&S and Eheim for advice with no response. nice customer service, hey!

A Google search indicates that up until 2006 at least, Weddel Ltd. were Canadian distributors of H&S:

However, their website doesn't say much:

There are a number of US distributors of H&S:

You can get the Euro-reef impeller for the 1260 for $100 bucks less than Deltec charges.
