did you run it for a decent amount of time. The impellers can get dry & brittle. I think I'd take it right back where I had the work done. I had a situation just like this on a motor that quit pumping when my son was running it. Unfortunately it was my brothers motor. So you know how that goes...I had a dealer I did not know put a new impeller and test the pump. Apparantly he had a new impeller but it was really old and brittle. Held together for about a three week period and all that was left was a nobby wheel! The dealer fessed up when I brought the part back in to him. He replaced it no charge but I had to do the install as I had taken it apart.
