I just got a used turboflotor 5000 shorty with an ocean runner 3500 pump. The previous owner had so much scale built up on the impeller that it stripped the plastic notches off the needle wheel that locks it to the magnet. Any ideas on where to pick a new assembly up? Can I weld the plastic piece to the magnet? I've read that a 3700 assembly will work.....any canadian outlets anyone knows of?
Thanks

I would not bother trygin to fix that... just buy a new impellor assembly. I am not sure who carries those parts.. if in doubt you can always contact the manufacturer for a replacement part... or at least they can tell you where you buy them.
