    I've contacted a couple of shops nut most of them just say that their suppliers don't have.

    Hi,

    I was looking for a sobo impellor a while back, gave up eventually. Whats wrong with the impellor? I managed to fix mine with some superglue and have had no issues since.

    The impeller is a bit noisy, but it still works 100%, im just starting to look now before it is too late. What did yours do?

    Mine wasnt pumping the water at all. I opened it up, took the plastic bar out and superglued the rest of it together, then once this had dried I put the bar back in.

    If its noisy maybe it just needs a clean, one where you take everything apart and rinse each part individually.

    Waking up this thread again....

    I have a SOBO SF-1500F-UV ...

    The filter works 100% and I'm very happy with it in general...tank's been super clean since I got it...but..

    Recently, I opened it up for a decent clean, even taking out the UV lamp and the impeller (that was a big mistake).
    When I took out the impeller, it was covered in fish poop - so I cleaned it properly and put everything back together. Now it's so noisy I have to turn it off when we're home.
    I can't find a replacement anywhere online.

    Has anyone go any idea where I can shop for a new one? I went to Petworld XXL (Cape Gate, Brackenfell) where I bought the filter not even a year ago... they also can't help.
