IWAKI 40RLXT PARTS????? (1 Viewer)

Where can I find a cheap impeller for a iwaki pump? I saw one web site that wanted $100 for one but I paid less than that for a new pump.

That's what Iwaki impellers go for. To save some money, your best bet is to try to find a used one with a burned out motor and pick it up cheap, then swap the impellar from it.

I'd have to agree, seeing that I've paid $75 to replace the impeller in my Iwaki pump when it had a run-in with some ceramic phosphate beads.

Well thats no good I guess I will post in the Buying Forum for a WTB pump. Atleast it still works

 

[Guest]

not to thread hi-jack but u guys know where to get little giant impellers?

At one time Drs Foster & Smith carried both LG and Iwaki. The phosphate beads missed my LG pump and its $20 impeller, and instead went right for the $75 Iwaki impeller. *Sigh*

FireMarshallBill,
The Little Giants are built in a shop in Orange, Tx.
Probably pretty cheap there.
Call them in the morning. If it's cheap enough for you, I'll pick it up and bring it to Kevin's Sat AM.

Interested?

Isn't that the story of life for us? We try to solve one "semi/small" problem which leads to a VERY BIG (or Expensive) problem.
