CX400 Is Not CTX 400

The names are one letter apart, but the pumps take different impellers. Astralpool's current CTX parts list shows 40060G for the CTX 400C. This impeller, 40060J, is for the CX400 and FX520.

The CX / FX Model Rule (rev. CXF-1.0)

Several CX and FX pumps share an impeller, but each model takes only one, and Astralpool lists a different diffuser for each range. Work through these steps before ordering:

1. Read the model number on the pump label, for example CX240 or FX250.
2. Match the model to the table below. Check the letters as well as the number: a CX pump is not a CTX pump.
3. Check the diffuser separately. Astralpool lists diffuser 40071A for CX pumps and 40072A for FX pumps.
4. If the label is unreadable, send us photos of the pump label and the old impeller. We would rather identify it for you than have it come back.

Which CX / FX Impeller Do I Need?

Sources: Astralpool 2019-20 catalogue and the current Astralpool FX-Series parts list, with 2018-19 catalogue numbers for reference. The CX280 and FX140 rows show the impellers sold for those pumps. For either pump, send us photos of the pump label and old impeller before ordering.

Fit a New Mechanical Seal at the Same Time

The pumps this impeller fits use the 3/4" Type 6 mechanical seal, part PS3868. Earlier Astralpool catalogues list the same seal as 75508.

The two seal faces separate when the impeller is removed from the motor shaft, and a disturbed seal can leak under the pump once it is back in service. We recommend fitting a new seal every time the impeller is changed.

Symptoms of a Failed or Worn Impeller

• The motor runs normally but flow and filter pressure are down
• Noise or humming from the pump. Astralpool lists the impeller as a possible cause, along with the bearings, mechanical seal, capacitor and motor
• The pump will not run because debris is jammed in the impeller. Astralpool notes that a damaged hair and lint basket can let debris through to the impeller
• Vanes worn, chipped or cracked

If the impeller is jammed, check whether it can be freed before replacing it. Astralpool treats debris jammed in the impeller as general maintenance rather than a warranty fault, and warns that running a pump dry for any length of time causes severe damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Astralpool's catalogues list 40060J for both, and its current FX-Series parts list shows it for the FX520.

Is this the CTX 400 impeller?
No. Astralpool's current CTX parts list shows 40060G for the CTX 400C. Despite the similar name, the CX400 and CTX 400 take different impellers.

Will it fit a CX320 or FX340?
No. Astralpool lists 40060G for the CX320 and FX340.

Is the diffuser the same on CX and FX pumps?
No. Astralpool lists diffuser 40071A for CX pumps and 40072A for FX pumps.

Do I need a new mechanical seal when I replace the impeller?
We recommend it. The seal faces separate when the impeller comes off, and a disturbed seal can leak once the pump is back in service. These pumps use the 3/4" Type 6 Mechanical Seal, part PS3868.

Is this a genuine Astralpool part?
Yes. We are an authorised Astralpool and Fluidra dealer and warranty agent, and this is the genuine 40060J impeller.
