(More customer reviews)The impeller is an acceptable replacement for the 150 Bio Wheel Power Filter, if you happen to need one.
If you're buying this impeller, you must have worn out your old one and if you're like me you are buying it after only 1 month! Way too expensive to do on a long term basis, at that price it costs more than the entire new power filter after just 3 months. It was my bad though. I used very, very fine sand which got between the impeller shaft and housing and went about grinding between these until there were large grooves in the impeller shaft. This lends to a very noisy pump, so you have to replace. Plus, soon after the grooves begin to show and make noise, they deepen and eventually cause the impeller's blades to catch, pumping stops momentarily. its a noisy, inefficient operation. Unacceptable...so don't use fine sand in a power filter (or maybe just one marketed for only ~$25). You can do things to reduce the effect the suspended sand can have by reducing the amount of time you run the filter when sand is still stirred up. Let it settle before starting the filter up. Lesson learned.
