I recommend that you pick up a spare impeller. One of the times I tore
down my 2215 to correct a rattle, I found that a portion of the plastic
on the impeller had cracked apart (needing replacement). After measuring
the thickness and tolerances, I leaned on Eheim for what was potentially
a design weakness, and they eventually supplied me with a replacement at
no charge. I keep spare impellers for my Fluvals too in case anyone
suspects me of being impartial ;~).


Hmm, I have two Fluvals and one of them is about a year old. Where do
you get the spare parts and what other spare parts should I keep?


Thanks

BTW, I like your web site.

You can get parts for fluval msfs directly from hagen. E-mail them and they
will tell you how(I can tell you right now that you will not be able to
order over the web I think, because it is an infrequent occurrence, but you
should be able to order via telephone [voice]). The prices directly from
hagen will not be sale prices though (i.e. expensive), I am about to order a
new foam screen frame for my 404 and it will cost approximately $9.00 plus
shipping and handling - I know expensive for what you get but worth it to me
as I damaged one of mine. Before e-mailing check out their website. Good
luck and later!
