Wondering why they don't make a stainless impeller to avoid ever having to worry about them wearing out.:confused:

You'll understand Why SSteel isn't a viable material....

Re: permanent impeller

Many years ago they used 2 brass gears instead of a rubber impeller. Didn't work any better and in some cases not as well ---- no suction to speak of.
Good Luck Muc
