Hi, my first attemp at changing the impeller on my AQ231a, from the picture is the current install correct, see photo of the impeller and cover plate.
Thoughts most welcomed.

Looks fine, though I would clean up the surfaces that the seal contacts on both the housing and the cover. May want to pull the impeller to clean the housing. Compressing the impeller with a zip tie is an easy way to install it.

Thanks for quick response, ive now pulled it out and will replace. Also thanks for tip on replacing as it was hard enough getting the old one out.

Use KY jelly to lube the new impeller. Makes it much easier to install
