    Not to hi-jack this tread but,

    Is it a common problem for cannisters to leak water after a few years ?

    Both of mine did it.

    @ hien24, the correct word for the part you are looking for is impeller.

    Have you asked your LFS's yet, especially the one that you got the filter from?

    Well I bought the canister secondhand and not sure where this guy bought it. At first it was noisy and then when I did open it up I saw the impellor ( thanks @Kuhli Loach) was broken in half. So I closed it up as it was but then it wasn't working so thats why I wanna replace that part.
