AquaClear Power FIlter Maintenance

I removed my filter for maintenance and cannot restart it
To maintain maximum filter operation and efficiency, regular cleaning of the filter media and its parts is recommended. Often overlooked is the impeller shaft and impeller well. The impeller rotates to create the water movement which draws particulate waste into the impeller well. When the unit is unplugged, this waste can coagulate and impede the impeller from starting up once power is restored.
To clean, remove the motor from the filter case by twisting it in the direction of the arrow on the motor. The motor should rotate 90 degrees. Pull motor down gently to prevent damage to filter case or motor guide. Next, pull the impeller out of the impeller well. Rinse the impeller and the well with lukewarm water, and replace. This should allow the motor to function properly. HAGEN carries a full range of replacement impellers, complete impeller assemblies and motors for all our filters.
