A fresh assembly restores full, quiet flow to a pump that has grown loud, weak or unreliable, well short of the cost of a new wavemaker. It fits the ReefWave 25 only; the ReefWave 45 uses its own motor assembly, part number R35243.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Red Sea motor assembly, exact fit for the ReefWave 25 (RW25) only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores full flow output and quiet running\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect swap into the existing pump housing — no re-plumbing or re-mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses noise or weak flow that persists after cleaning and an impeller check\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFits\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed Sea ReefWave 25 (RW25) only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDoes not fit\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRed Sea ReefWave 45 (RW45) — use motor assembly R35243 instead\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGenuine part number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR35232\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower consumption of the assembled pump\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4–25 W, depending on flow setting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this fix my pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Sea's own service order is to clean the impeller and cage first, then check the rotor shaft and magnet for wear, and only then replace the motor assembly. If a pump is still rough, noisy or underperforming after a clean and a rotor\/shaft check, the motor assembly is the definitive fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuited to a ReefWave 25 that stays noisy, weak or unreliable after routine cleaning and a rotor shaft check. Not needed for a pump that's simply lost flow from a dirty or worn impeller alone — try the cheaper impeller and cage parts first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Sea recommends a half-yearly service of the motor and shaft alongside the monthly impeller and cage clean. The manual notes the plastic connectors on the ceramic shaft may need pliers to remove, and that calcium deposits respond to a soak in diluted vinegar or bleach solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the power supply before opening the pump. The ReefWave's mounting magnets are strong enough to cause a pinch injury and can affect medical implants — keep the outer magnet at least 30 cm from anyone with a pacemaker or similar device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften replaced alongside the rotor shaft\/magnet, since both sit inside the same sealed assembly and wear on a similar timeline — or fitted as part of Red Sea's ReefWave 25 Service Pack for a full internal refresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Sea's 24-month warranty covers manufacturing defects in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law; general wear and tear on rotating parts is excluded, which is the usual reason a motor assembly needs replacing rather than claiming.
