Noisy operation may be caused by the impeller or the shaft being worn. If the inside of the impeller isn't out-of-round you need a new shaft. I recently replaced two shafts on my aquaclear filters, a 70 and a 110. Makes quite a difference in how they run (noise factor.)
Where to buy Aquaclear parts?

Thanks, I might look into it. Any ideas on what a reasonable price would be to sell it as is? it works, its just noisy, I was thinking somewhere around $25, but not sure if that is too much. I figure that if I sell it for $25, even if it needs a new motor/impeller then the whole filter will only cost someone around $50.
If it's older than 5 years ormore,I would buy new filter altogether! If you replace the impeller and something else goes awry then you have to replace again. on the other hand if you replace the impeller and it works a couple years longer it's worth the effort.
