I have a 1050 deluxe skimmer and the pump quit running today. I did a vinegar bath...no luck. I had an extra motor block so I tried that...no luck. I checked the impeller over and it appears to be ok but when I try assembling the pump again no luck. Guess I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas to get this running so I can get thru the weekend?

Have you tried a different plug?

So the only common factor is the impeller, can you run the pump just in a bucket of water and vinegar?

Buy a new pump. If it is done it is done.

If you ran the same impeller in both blocks and it still doesn't run I would try a new impeller, assuming the 2nd block is good

I figured it out. The bearing a that slips into the black impellar face place had locked up so tight that I thought it was a fixed piece. Once I noticed it should be free I removed and cleaned it and now everything is good. Thanks the input!
