Impeller Reusable?

[polyharmonic]

I am wondering if my impeller is reusable. It has some scratches on it but is otherwise intact.

That is probably from the impeller ring which might need to be replaced but the impeller doesn't look too bad. If there are any large gouge that would make it imbalanced or not seal properly against the impeller ring, then I would replace it.

What do you mean by the impeller ring? Is that the ring that is lodged into the diffuser opening? If so, I can't find this part. I thought it was included as part of the diffuser?

Yes. If it is part of the diffuser and damaged, it needs to be replaced.

I'm not sure if it's damaged. It looks like it is stained but doesn't look like it's cracked.

Can just this sleeve be replaced or do I have to get a new diffuser?
