It is a Total Pond LL3600 sold by Home Depot. I’ve had it for 6 years. I pulled it a little while ago for cleaning, but I can’t get the impeller assembly to release and come out. It’s like it’s stuck and I don’t ever recall having an issue with it in the past. There was a brief video on the HD site, and they show the guy just pulling it out — very straightforward, no effort, no twisting or special contortions used. I’m afraid to be too agressive with it, but can’t figure out what’s wrong. It’s my primary pump (Skippy and turtle-bog) so kinda anxious to get it back in operation.
I couldn’t copy the video, but grabbed a screen shot that shows the guy pulling it out. I circled the part and the arrow shows direction of removal. I posted a question to the HD site, but it popped up and said it would be 48 hours before the question posted — great!
