Thanks anyway Don.

Not only do I have CRS (can't remember stuff), but I also have DKS (don't know stuff.)

That being said, here's my unprofessional opinion.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I myself don't have a temp gauge. I just keep an eye on the weep hole. IF,the motor would overheat you should have an audible over heat alarm on the motor.
Depending on the hours you run your motor, an impeller should last about 3 years. But again, I have DKS, so you better get a third opinion.

I believe water pressure gauges are not always that accurate due to freeze damage, and 4 years on a rubber impeller is probably enough. Many people change their impeller out every year, some every other year, but I think most people would agree that after 4 years you're due.

Quit being lazy Mark. Mine needs changing too, so you can practice on yours then run by and knock mine out while I'm at work. BTW, bring your own tools, I never loan mine out. Just let me know when you've gotter done.
