Default Koralia Evolution Impeller Split

I noticed last night that my Koralia Evolution 1050 power head had stopped working.

The magnet has split and swelled up and was unable to rotate in the housing.
I find this pretty surprising as the pump in only 13 months old.

Has anyone else had this occur?

Who in Calgary stocks impellers?

I have had the same thing happen to two of mine. Definitely a design flaw. Crappy design, I will never buy another koralia power head. Not to mention the evolution series always ends up running backwards. Contact them and they will send out a new one.

Yep, same thing hapened to mine! I ordered a new impeller from Big Al online Canada store and it cost like 15$ or so.

Not only they are cheaply made but all of my 3 Koralia 1050 tend to run backward often. This is seriously anoying. I contacted the company. They sent me 2 new ring but that did not make a bit of difference and they are still running backward.
