Replaced the motor head after noticing slow flow. The kit arrived quickly and the installation was straightforward. Filter performance returned to normal within hours. No leaks observed after reassembly.
Virginia Tucker –
Felt like a solid replacement. The impeller and gasket fit perfectly. Took about 30 minutes to assemble. Filter now runs smoothly without any noise or dripping.

Had a small leak before the repair. After installing the new impeller and gasket, the leak stopped completely. The ceramic shaft feels durable and the flow is stronger than before.
