Well my aqualifter stopped working on my external overflow, being the fixer DIY guy I am I opened up the pump for a look at what was wrong.

Look at that salt creep, it must have taken a dive in the reef tank and then went back to work shortly after.

I think I found the problem,

Thanks to an Aqualifter Repair Kit I was able to repair this mess of a pump.

Some basic tools for the job at hand, small scredriver set, pliers, and you repair kit.
There are four screws in the bottom that hold the outer housing together,hopefully these are not rusted too bad as mine were a little corroded.

There is a screw that needs to be removed from the inside to get the diaphram housing out. It is located in between the two magnets.

Then remove the screw that holds the inner receptacles together so they can also be removed.

get those old nasty ones out of there.

Get the new ones out of the package and place them back into the approprate place using the old screw.

The old diaphrams have to be replaced too and they can be tricky some times so that is why I have the pliers handy just in case.

Aqualifter Repair Kit by Toms Dscf0423

If you had read the instructions for the repair kit you would remember that you need to tighten the screw\nut on the New diaphram as close to the Old one as possible so I simply count the number turns it took to get the old on off and then use the same number of rotations to put the new one on...Worked for me.

And saved quite a few dollars seeing as the repair kit was about 4 bucks.
