I have a couple of small pumps (about 300 gallons per hour) of the brand Garden Treasures. I believe I purchased at Lowes. Over a year or so the pump impeller tabs become worn. These connect the impeller to the rotor. Is there a site to purchase new impellers? I tried using silicone type III; filling the ID of the impeller where the rotor fits. After letting cure completely and then testing, the silicone failed. Or should I get some good epoxy glue?

GEo Global is the company that makes the pumps. (908)412-6000- give them a call but I'm almost sure impellers are not replacable. I've had the impeller covers break off on three of their pumps. They have replaced all pumps with proof of purchase.

I would NOT use any 50/50 epoxy as it will turn to Gel if it's completely submerged! I tried using some on lights to hold them to a stand and after a week they fell off and the epoxy was slimy and soft. I would use standard J/B Weld, I used it to patch a hole in a preformed liner at the bottom 6 months ago and that stuff holds up like a champ and is water proof i guess as it's still hard as a rock! :helm2:
