power filter question

[KRF]

I brought a couple of my goldfish from the pond inside. The power
filter has been working fine, until this am. The magnet has seperated
from the rest of the impeller, so there is two pieces running on the
shaft, not one. Can I use super glue to fix that? I ordered a new one,
but need to get this filter back up and running until I get the part. I
know super glue is safe in salt water tanks as I have used it, not sure
about freshwater though...please help

actually, most impellers are two pieces with a shaft connecting them and holding the
whole thing together are two little rubber "nibs" on the top and bottom. if you can
find that you could thread the whole shebang back together.
yes, superglue is fine when dried, but I dont think it will work if superglued.

Superglue will work ...but may not fix your problem.
As its only a small surface area to cover.
Superglue works better over larger surfacs.
Try an epoxy resin...probably better for your application....some dry in 10
minutes.
But most 24 hours.
