Bubble king pump issues?
I noticed my pump had stopped on my bubble king skimmer so I took it apart and noticed this.
IMG_2540[1].jpg IMG_2546[1].jpg If I put the impeller back in after cleaning it works but the pictures are after cleaning with a vinegar bath. I assume that was rust that you see in the pictures it doesn't come off. Do I need to replace the whole pump or just the rotor? Also the rotor spins fine and I don't see anything particular wrong with it but are you supposed to be able to move the black plastic shield that goes between the needle and the magnet as it has some play to move it back and forth. |

My Vectra had the same set up as far as the shield & it did have some play, this allows the shaft to settle in position.
As far as anything else I would wait for Scott to chime in.
