The pump is hard wired, so there's no easy way to replace it. You can however remove it from the bottom of the filter holder, and clean it out. It may just be clogged preventing the impeller from spinning.

You may have to contact Fluval directly for a replacement. I could not get mine to stay attached and my light fell into the water twice. I no longer use it. This was my biggest complaint.

If the light doesnt break. Mine broke after three weeks. The cord broke at the base of the plug in. Also the filter is too turbulent for the tank.

I have this unit, with UV, running two small fountains, one on the outlet line from a submerged bio filtration canister. My pond is small, oval 110 gal. buried live stock trough. It totally cleared my green water in 4 days. it is over kill for my setup but I'm moving up from tiny to this to larger next year. I would go with 2 in in a 2400 gal set up possibly. Company not great with follow up, UV bulb inop has not sent new one. Real attitude on phone, they wanted 35 bucks + postage for a bulb i git for 13 buck also from Amazon.

That I don't know. I've only owned the one fountain. I have had for over 10 years and replaced the pump only once.

Yeah, that light. It went dead pretty fast and we didn't replace it. Do this instead: Write month and date of installation on both filters, and put it on your calendar in six months--and then replace them. Other than that, the filters have been great and function well.

I have had 2 of these& havn,t replaced a filter. They do not keep my small pond clean. They are nice for the aeriation for the fish but the pumps that rest on the floor of your pond remove "junk" better. The main reason i have this is because it floats and i can adjust and take it out easy. Also it moves the water but i think the other type is better .

It has one they recommend include and it does need replacing. The down side I found was how often you have to soak the unit in vinegar to get rid I the minerals in the water. You can also soak the filter to prolong life but sooner than you would want , it falls apart. This machine performs really well, but, with refilling the tank and cleaning, it's a lot of maintainence. However, it think they all are.

I own this and have found to fix must replace the whole unit.... This summer2014 will be our second replacement in two years. It was suggested to me to bypass thus pump and draw water thru. But use a sand filter... Might try that instead

Ive had mine for 9 months now. in my opinion, the filter and lighting sucks for the price. the tank cleans up well and is still pretty but the filter has gotten so slow that it barely works anymore. The lighting still works as good as it did new but it is very dim.

Hi I have a two tier fountain and the pump is almost enough . You need a more powerful pump .

Your pump and the rest of the filter system needs a good cleaning. Take everything apart and clean it and it will work again. You can find a cleaning kit of brushes the right size for all the openings here on Amazon. Also, you need to be replacing the charcoal filters as needed.

My last filter went 198 gallons then blew up. However, I think it is our water quality and the age of the system. The first one I used worked for the whole lifr as expected.

I have had my machine 4 years. I take the filter (located in lower left of water bin-in the hole that takes in water) out on a regular basis and clean it. If I forget about it the machine will show ADD WATER LIGHT when there is plenty of water in the bin and the filter is too clogged to suck in water. I take a butter knife and pop it out of the center of the hole. I do not know where or if you can buy replacements but I still use the original that came with my machine.

Yes I had the same thing happen and I lost 4 fish. This circulation pump is a death trap for fish. I ended up getting rid of it and bought a power head that runs off my air pump. Works much better and doesn't kill my fish

This pump is not worth buying mine lasted 1month before it went dead. The other only lasted a week more than the first. Choose another
