Cleaned my skimmer ( omega vertex150 )Had it put away for 3months . Set up a new tank and plugged it in and it didn’t work, so I took it apart and noticed some scratches on the impeller. When I put it in the pump with no cap on it spins . Is it the impeller or is it the pump? If it is any of the two where can I get parts if they have been discontinued or should I invest in another skimmer

Thanks

Check the impeller shaft . Most the impeller can take shaft apart . Some time Calcium buildup between the impeller and shaft can make this happen
Yep checked it and no bull up, the doggone thing is as clean as a whistle so I’m guessing the impeller cause it’s been used 24/7 except for cleaning for the last 4 years and the impeller is scratched just hope it’s not the pump, thanks for your response
