You mean the impeller shaft? Hmmm... I haven't had any problems with impeller shafts, except when I've broken one, which taught me a lesson not to clean in there with a toothbrush
If I leave the powerhead uncleaned for over two weeks, which is rare, the impeller and shaft, all the way to the very bottom, gets a huge slime build up. I'm sure this impairs performance. Even when I break down and clean it weekly, I notice an improvement in water movement when I plug the thing back in.
I would imagine slime build up would be apparent in all powerhead impeller chambers if not cleaned frequently, no matter what brand they are.
