Sta-Rite 101P1730 Impeller
The Sta-Rite 101P1730 is a replacement impeller. The impeller is the spinning wheel inside the pump body that actually moves water: it bolts or threads onto the motor shaft and its curved vanes fling water outward into the diffuser or volute as it spins.
Because the impeller sits directly on the motor shaft, this is also the part most likely to need replacing after the pump has run dry or ingested debris that jammed or chipped the vanes. Inspect the mechanical seal and diffuser or volute for matching damage at the same time, since a failed impeller often takes the seal with it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my pump needs a new impeller?
Falling flow or pressure with the motor still running normally, a grinding or rattling noise, or visible chips and cracks in the old impeller are the usual signs. A pump that hums but moves no water at all can also mean a seized or badly damaged impeller.
Q: Do I need to replace the seal at the same time?
Not always, but inspect it while the pump is open. An impeller that failed from a dry-run event or debris often damaged the mechanical seal as well, and it is cheaper to replace both while the pump is already apart.
Q: Will this impeller fit a different horsepower pump in the same series?
Match the exact part number on the old impeller rather than assuming pumps of similar size use the same impeller.
Q: What causes an impeller to wear out?
Sand and grit in the water, cavitation from running against a closed or restricted line, and simple age all wear the vanes down over time. Running the pump dry, even briefly, can chip or crack an impeller outright.
