    Anyone has experience/currently using the above? Comments on this filter? Can't find any info on this filter on the web.

    btw. My impeller shaft is broken, any idea where I can get a replacement?

    IMO, it is really hard to find spare parts for products that is made in Italy. I was trying very hard searching for spare parts of Hydor Prime, Hagen Fluval, Project etc… But I’ve given up the idea because I realized that some Eheim spare parts that are widely available in the market could be fitted into theses Italian’s products.

    Anyway, it's better not to buy canister filter that lack of spare parts availability

    yup same here, can't find parts anywhere. however, i feel that it is not worthwhile to get those overpriced filters just on the basis that spare parts are widely available.

    Actually, what is the function of the impeller shaft? Can I jus use some other plastic tube of the same diameter.. it doesn't really matter rite?

    Best Regards

    Yes, it does't matter as long as the stick fits the impeller.

    Is it true then... if you can find an impeller unit coil that fits the filter unit, it should work as well? Have you tried doing this before?

    I am surprised how come no Taiwanese company is producing 'pirated' spare parts then... like what is being done for bubble jet printer catridges. Or is it just that case that such parts are not available in sg.
