A clogged impeller well is the most common cause of a quiet or stalled filter and just needs cleaning; a pump that won't turn at all, or is rattling, is the case this part fixes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bioscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55293047144739,"sku":"AC16B","price":29.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/AC16b_2.png?v=1782869625","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/bioscape-replacement-pump-and-impeller-for-ac16-betta-aquarium","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
