A fresh rotor cures rattle, vibration and rough starts, well short of the cost of a full motor assembly. It fits the ReefWave 25 only; the ReefWave 45 takes its own rotor, part number R35244.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Red Sea rotor shaft and magnet, exact fit for the ReefWave 25 (RW25) only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe main internal wear component the impeller rides on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCures rattle, vibration and start-up hesitation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheaper than replacing the full motor assembly\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 rotor R35244 instead\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGenuine part number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR35233\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCeramic shaft with plastic end connectors and magnet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed Sea's manual pairs the rotor shaft with a half-yearly motor service: remove the end cap, cage and impeller first, then pull the plastic connectors off both ends of the ceramic shaft — pliers may be needed — and push the shaft out from the green side of the motor.

Not the first thing to try for reduced flow alone with no unusual noise — check the impeller and cage before assuming the rotor.\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, and take care handling the internal magnet during the swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommonly replaced at the same service as the impeller set and cage, or fitted as part of Red Sea's ReefWave 25 Service Pack, which bundles the routine wear parts together.\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, but its terms name rotor shafts specifically as a normal-wear exclusion — a rotor that's worn out from ordinary running isn't a warranty claim.
