Impeller Problems

What could cause my impellers to break on my Mag7 that runs my CLS. 2 impellers within 3 weeks. Should I just get a better pump?

Back pressure maybe or just a bad impeller.

You must be sucking in some debris, (Sand, Coral, Snails etc.) Do you have some sort of screen or foam filter on the input?

I have a foam filter on the intake

Maybe the bushing is worn?

Turn the pump on with out the impellar and see if you feel a vibration. IMO you have a bent shaft. Also look at the side of the cuts, scraps or damage from impact from the impellar

Gooad luck
