    Did you also clean the recess the impeller sits in?, Are both the bushings in place? Is your sponge clean? There's not a whole lot to an AC so I am at a bit of a loss..

    My GF calls me insincere... I pretend to care.

    I took the impeller part off and cleaned the magnet and the plastic part cleaned the inside to where the magnet sits and just put it back together. Sponge may not be clean but should that even matter to it sounding like it sounds when its priming the water ? Ive heard of oiling dwn with silicone grease or something like that dwn the shaft thing where the magnet goes so it will be smooth but at the time i dont have any, could i use the oil used for hair clipper blade oil ?

    No.
    Take it apart, clean it again, and carefully put it back together again and see if it helps. You may not have set the impeller correctly.
    If it's called tourist season why can't I shoot them?
    Brutal honesty will be shown on this screen.
    I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
    Tolerance is a great thing to have, so is the ability to shut up.

    Clean sponges never hurt, No matter what else is going on.

    No. Absolutely not. BTW - I would replace the impeller before replacing the entire thing.
