Re: [Killietalk] Power filter help

["Keith Cook" <kcook at sdgdocs_com>]

I prefer the Aquaclear line of filters.  They have a sponge that serves as
the mechanical filter that is easy to rinse out and lasts forever.  It's a
lot like having a sponge filter as I'm sure a good bit of bacterial efficacy
remains even after rinsing in chlorinated tap water. I personally do not
like the filter floss type cartridges that come with other filters.

FWIW

I have several different power filters I use on larger (29-100 gallon)
tanks. 
They are mostly Whisper 2 , 3 type. I have them on 8 tanks.  Periodically
the 
impellers fail -- the magnet and plastic assembly rotates freely instead of 
the rather flimsy connection to the impeller. I have no idea why they design

them this way except to make money on the replacement impellers.  I am
getting 
tired of spending $5-6 for replacement impellers. Has anyone fixed these
things 
by gluing or other home made repair? Or, should I just throw out these 
filters and replace them? If so, what do other people like?
