Powerhead repair

[Willb25]

I have a eco wave ew10 and the proper isn't working properly. I'm trying to troubleshoot possible problems and can't seem to get it working. The powerhead has been cleaned and taken apart, still I can't find the issue. Do you have any suggestions?

The propeller will spin and stop. It will start to shake a lil bit like the motor isn't working at full power or act like something is blocking the propeller not allowing it to turn. I tried to find parts on the web but can't find any for the ec wave powerhead. I think the problem is with the magnetic power

You might want to consider calling the lfs store you got it from or manufacturer if it’s out of warranty or consider replacing it

sometimes there are shaft holders on either side that may come loose, the part is very small, and can get lost during assembly or worn out over time.

Don't think you can fix it. The propeller probably rides in little rubber seals , and the prop shaft is sliding in and out, and jamming on the housing. I guess you could try crazy glue Don't know

Thx for the input. I have a ew 40 that will suit on the lowest setting but I'm too stubborn to give up on the 10

Your Magnet is probably worn out. By cleaning it you took away the spacing on the Magnet. Go on eBay, type in “The Name/Brand of your Pump“ The seller has a good stock of Pump parts, also impellers for a lot of brands. He is in Denton, Texas. He Shipped the next day.
