Replace it on symptoms rather than on a schedule - rattling, vibration or flow loss that survives a proper clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy is the impeller not covered by the warranty?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it is designed to be consumed. Seachem covers the Tidal filter for three years but excludes the impeller as a wear part, much as a car warranty excludes brake pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need the impeller or the whole pump?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRattling with water still moving means the impeller.
