I got this pump for my skimmer months ago and it didn't come with instructions. I emailed pacific coast imports a couple days back and they haven't replied and I just called and it went to voice mail. My skimmer has been offline for a couple of days now and I don't have much faith these guys are going to respond soon.

I took it apart as best I could figure out and soaked in vinegar for about a day. I can get it running but eventually it freezes up, so I assume there are CA deposits somewhere.

So I unscrewed it and came up with 4 parts. The motor housing, the plastic piece with the input/output connections, the plastic piece that sits in the motor housing and the black piece that is the propeller.

What I'm wondering is does the propeller come apart and if so can anyone explain how?
