So I decided to clean the pump inside and out and when I put the propeller back into place and turn it back on, its running backwards? I know this because I check my pumps often by blowing water into the fan and see the flow of the water via bubbles and noticed it was circulating in the opposite fashion.
Has this happen to anyone and if so, what did you do to fix this? Thanks

I had a similar issue with a current usa pump. It's possible the jebao has something that forces it to run in the correct direction and while cleaning it, it got damaged. Thats what happened to me at least

Did you put your Impeller on backwards?
From what I am reading, there’s a gear sitting near the shaft that corrects the impeller and if it’s not put together correctly the gear won’t correct the direction of the impeller.

the propeller shaft is all in one and there is only one possible was to put it in and take out.

did you replace it with a new one?
 
I had one brand new do that, only ran backwards I had to use a old controller to fix it.
