Impeller cover

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   With a couple of the screws for the impeller cover being a bit finicky to remove unless you have a really small screwdriver, I'm wondering if anyone has replaced these with 319 stainless thumb screws and how that went?

Also, I came across this company that manufacturers aftermarket impeller covers (also with thumb screws).  They have two models.  The first is a regular cover while the second has a cover with a spinning teflon bushing built into the cover itself.  This apparently increases impeller life generally and also delays impeller damage in an overheating situation.

The prices seem a bit high for the product but how much is it worth to you to not have pieces of impeller clogging your water cooling system, right?

	yes that is a great system, like you said a bit pricey but it improves the long term picture
