Description
Questions and Answers
Replacement motor for the API Rena Filstar L (XP3). Includes electrical coil. Bottom and top cover plus electrical cord with plug.
It does *not* include the Quick Disconnect Unit, rotor/impeller, impeller cover, canister O-ring and impeller cover seal or Black Pressure Relief Valve (black plug).
To install this motor you will remove from the old motor and install on the new motor these parts:
Quick Disconnect
Rotor/Impeller Assembly
Impeller Cover
Canister O-Ring
Impeller cover seal
Black plug
You can also purchase these parts in the Filstar Parts section of our store.
You should replace your motor only if the rotor/impeller will not turn when the motor is plugged in to the electrical outlet. This generally indicates the motor coil is no longer functioning due to old age and/or damage from running without water. Also, if the motor cover or bottom half of the housing is broken this may also require a motor replacement.
If the rotor/impeller spins when the motor is plugged into the outlet then you may need to look for other causes not associated with the motor. Please visit our blog on the Rena Aquatic site for additional information.
Q:
Hello, how much bigger is the motor in the X2 compared to X3? I have a 60 gallon tank and have a 2X was thinking of putting a 3X motor lid in my current filter. Thank you

A:
The physical size is the same. The flow is about 50gph more if you have both the motor and Filstar L rotor. If you use your current rotor the flow will be about the same. The motor coil itself does not add much flow.

Q:
xp3 motor is leaking from where the cord comes out of the housing. how can i fix this?
Asked by:
Marianne Mehalik
- 2/2/2025
A:
Since this item was discontinued in 2019 by the manufacturer, MARS FISHCARE/API they stopped making parts. What parts that are left are on our website. For other possible solutions and further information on the Orings continue reading below:
The quick disconnect O-rings on the bottom extensions of the QD fixes leaks around these QD o-rings that happen during operation or priming/startup. This water ends up in the center of the motor. If the leak is extremely bad it will come out where the cord goes into the motor or between the seams of the upper and lower half of the filter. These Orings are only available with the purchase of a new quick-disconnect but can sometimes be found at auto parts stores and other specialty hardware or tool outlets.
The canister O-ring seals the motor to the the top of the canister and prevents leaks from the canister which is water coming out between the top of the canister and motor. Water streaks on the side of the canister are an indicator of this.
The impeller cover seal is not an actual O-ring but a strip of sealing material that goes into the groove around the impeller area on the bottom of the motor. The seal's only function is to direct water through the center of the filter motor before exiting back into the tank. There are *NO* leaks associated with this seal but a bad seal can prevent priming and cause water to bypass filtration media if not operating correctly.

Q:
I need a xp3 cannister gasket, are these available? Thank you, Steve
Asked by:

A:
We no longer have any gaskets or O-rings for the
Filstar. It was discontinued almost 5 years ago. All available parts are listed on our web site. If it is not listed we no longer have it. Sometimes gaskets and O-rings can be reconditioned and you might be able to find someone selling a used unit that you can use for parts.

Q:
Where can I find the Canister O-Ring and Impeller cover seal for the Rena Filstar XP3
Asked by:
Henry
- 10/3/2024
A:
This product was discontinued by the manufacturer, Mars Fishcare, in late 2019. The parts we still have are listed on our website, RENA Aquatic Supply. Sometimes the large Canister Oring can be reconditioned by washing it off with de-chlorinated water and applying a thick coating of Vaseline or water based silicone grease. The seals and O-rings were custom made for the most part and we have no information on sizes.
