Mark, did you clean your often? I didn't, which might have been the issue. But with about 10 years on the pumps, I went through roughly 4 or 5 impellers each. (ran 2 3500 pumps on my ER)
Only cleaning was maybe annually brushing off the slime from impeller and inside body where impeller sits. Nothing major like soaking. There was slight swelling of the impeller but not enough to cause any binding. Stopped working due open continuity to stator windings.
btw Reef Supplies also carries needle wheel impellers for the 5000.
