Hi All,
So I put a new impeller in as it was getting noisy along with a new shaft and grommets. The problem is the diagram on the package shows the short thin black sleeve needing to fit over the shaft and into the impeller. I followed the diagram and the impeller wont turn as the black sleeve seems to lock it to the shaft which defeats the purpose of the shaft. I've left the black sleeve out for now and its working, however I'm not convinced this is correct or the flow is high enough without this on. The previous impeller had one of these as well but I dropped it when replacing so I've no idea how it fitted. Pics attached of the diagram and the sleeve (both old and new sleeves with the grommets, tried both same issue).
The Eheim website is awful and information available for this model is non-existent.
Anyone got one of these that can shed some light?
