What is this? It comes with the kit but is not mentioned in the instructions anywhere!
The impeller tool is used when removing the ceramic impeller shaft assembly from the filter. At the base of the assembly there is a hole that the hook on the tool can enter and attach to give you more leverage in removing a dirty or difficult impeller assembly. In most cases, the impeller shaft can be easily withdrawn by grasping the shaft and puling straight up, It is quite possible, though that if lateral pressure is applied, the ceramic shaft portion will break into pieces. When the impeller tool is used, no pressure is put on the shaft, so possibilities of damage are much less.
