omega 150 impeller

My impeller seems to be realy sloppy were it seats in the pump, i had taking the skimmer out and cleaned it ,when i put it all back together it wouldn't start so i opened the pump up and that's when i noticed the problem.Is this a impeller problem or a pump problem?do these impellers loose there magnetism?

I am glad you figured it out. With my Omega 150 I leave the impeller in the pump and just use vinegar to clean it, that magnetic pull is very strong and it can cause the impeller to slip loose off the shaft, causing it to spin freely.
