Filter down

Our Eheim Pro II 2026 suddenly decided to die last Friday. Managed to get a second hand filter Jebao 918 for $25. It's more than a year old, but it's bigger than the Eheim one that we have.

Although we already got a replacement filter, we tried to open up the old filter in an attempt to fix it. I happily unscrewed all the screws and found out that I could remove the impeller without unscrewing anything. *dot dot dot*. But the magnet to the impeller was cracked (there's another crack on the other side). Decided to get a replacement part for it to use as a spare. And found out that the replacement part costs more than the second hand filter. Gah...
