You can find to ask around in RC if there is any online USA website that carry Ehiem replacement parts. As Ehiem do have needle wheel:P

Ehiem NW impeller is patent to some brand of skimmer like Deltec, H&S ...etc.

You can only replace the NW impeller in a one to one exchange basic to protect the patent right, that is why ehiem is not selling their NW pump but you can find ehiem NW pump running on some branded skimmer.

So dont think you able to get ehiem NW impeller spare without owning one yourself in here.

Think lot of member in RC will like to know if there is spare for ehiem NW impeller that selling in here without going for one to one exchange.
