So my buddy Madreefer. had a spare fan laying in his closet and it was covered in disgust ,, he’s like well if you can get it cleaned it working and you could have it which is great because I was looking for a small powerhead to put in the corner to blow behind my rocks and get the stuff in the back As you can see it was right up my alley my OCD loves a little project here’s a few before and after pics also thank you very much again Madreefer. for your generosity this hobby is full of it full of generosity too much to list in one night

Hey Paulie! I got OCD today. I had soaked my NYOS return pump yesterday. Decided to take it apart today. The cover stuck to the body and when it finally came loose, the cover hit the impeller and I broke the shaft. I checked every dealer in the US and no one has the shaft or impeller in stock. Now I have to shop for a new pump. Which I didn't clean it

I assume the shaft was ceramic. I have several impellers if you want to try one or you can try using the shaft. LMK

Yes it is a ceramic shaft. I will try later today to see if it will pump water. Thanks for the offer.

If the shaft is broke won't work, been there. Why I save all impeller parts now.
