The most vulnerable components of the 304 are (from most to least): the impeller (nylon portion), the clear plastic
impeller shaft holder which snaps in to the pump base (snap-tang gets a bit of action), and the unit's handles if you ever
try re-installing it backwards (watch for the power cord notch). There isn't any significant failure history, so if you
have an LFS which stocks impellers, you should be fine (or if you are not close by, then a spare impeller might be
warranted).

My LFS can order replacement parts but does not carry them routinely; I remember when I managed to break an impeller on a
fluval 404 they wanted $15 for the replacement. Found them online at Big Al's for $2.99 instead.

Err..make that I replaced the broken SHAFT for $2.99. And for the OP, if the replacement parts aren't on display, chances
are slim your LFS has them in stock, IME
