 I've never understood not changing an impeller at each 100 hour service. It's a ~$10 part and it's easy/quick to do.

Call it $30 for just an impeller or $80 for a full kit. You get my point though... cheap insurance and piece of mind IMO.

 100 hours interval is very conservative. Most I've done on an impella is 600 hours out of sheer laziness when I was fishing.and It looked like it would go another 600 to be honest.

Corrosion

 I only change them as I am worried all the bolts would corrode and not be able to be removed later.

 

Otherwise the impelloers last years.
