[AquaticLife] How do I clean or change the impeller on a Marineland/ Peng…
Check out http://www.marineland.com/sites/Marineland/Documents/penguin_manual_100.150.. 200.350.pdf that is a link to the pdf of the manual.
If you look at the blow up of the filter, you will see items 3 and 4
3 is the impeller housing. It just lifts out of the filter, freeing up #4Â…the impeller. The impeller housing should easily come out of the filter casing with no problems. Once that is removed, then the impeller is free. It is held in place by the magnetic end of the impeller and the magnets in the motor that drive it. It should easily lift out once the housing is removed.

Turning unit upside down and banging it on desk didn’t remove the impeller either, if it’s only held in by magnetic attraction.
To be sure, I wonder if you’re supposed to take the motor unit apart, but I have no instructions saying so. Box itself says not to open or submerge it.
Did someone actually suggest trying to lubricate it with soap solution? LOL! Not I want to soap my fish!
