Wipe the external mounting magnet and the glass beneath it regularly, since algae or calcium build-up there can weaken the magnetic hold and cause the pump to slip. Red Sea sells impeller sets and other spare parts separately for when parts eventually wear out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a mains-powered aquarium device. Connect it through a residual current device (RCD\/safety switch) suited to AU wet-area wiring, and run a drip loop in the cable before it reaches any power socket or board.
