Description
Questions and Answers
Replacement motor for the API Rena Filstar M (XP2). 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:
will this fit xp-L ?
Asked by:
Jack Lee Sibert
- 8/23/2025
A:
All motors are the same size and shape. All can be mounted on any canister 1-4. However, we don't recommend going more than one size up or down. This can cause flow issues either too much or not enough.

Asked by:

A:
All motors are new original parts received directly from the manufacturer. Most are around 5 years old. These were received here shortly after the Filstar Filster were discontinued by Mars Fishcare, API.

Q:
API Filstar M (XP2) Motor Assembly includes housing, coil and cord details below , does this come with the gasket
Asked by:
Fred
- 2/9/2026
A:
It only comes with parts listed. We no longer have gaskets. The listing on our site has suggestions for making your old gaskets work unless they have some type of damage. Keep in mind the impeller cover seal is a strip of material and not an actual Oring.

Q:
I don't understand the description. Does this include the motor? The description says to use your old motor.
Asked by:
Tina
- 3/12/2026
A:
Sorry for the confusion. Housing is the top and bottom of the motor, Coil is built into the bottom housing. Cord is attached to coil. You will need to take some parts from your old motor. This includes the black plug, impeller cover, Orings and seals plus your rotor/impeller.
