I've never understood not
I've never understood not changing an impeller at each 100 hour service. It's a ~$10 part and it's easy/quick to do.

Little bit of mayo
Call it $30 for just an impeller or $80 for a full kit. You get my point though... cheap insurance and piece of mind IMO.

Agree I was doing mine
Every hundred . Reason I stopped I honestly couldn’t see any diff from new one. I normally do mine every 200 now days. Maybe cause I use mine heaps . That’s why it’s in such good nick. Pure lazynes in this case

100 hours interval is very conservative. Most I've done on an impella is 600 hours out of sheer laziness when I was fishing.and It looked like it would go another 600 to be honest.
Motor doesn't work hard and I don't plow sand bars

Corrosion
I only change them as I am worried all the bolts would corrode and not be able to be removed later.
Otherwise the impelloers last years.
