it should be done every

Every second year at MOST. Every year to be really safe.

I killed a new impeller this year from April to Sept. I mean killed dead,
as it it stopped peeing at low RPM and the impeller was toast. A lot of
sandy / silty water will wear one out FAST.

This means I will need to replace the impeller anyway regardless if the
impeller in my motor is really damaged or not. Knowing that the cost
of replacing the impeller should be considered as a regular maintenance
cost instead of a loss, I feel better already.

Thanks.
