Can anyone tell me which direction the water impeller paddles go?
If you are holding the impeller housing looking at the paddles do they go
clockwise or counter clockwise. thanks

Instead of looking at it that way and getting confused, just consider that the shaft turns clockwise, looking down on it. The impeller blades trail back. However, even if you put a new one in backwards, they would flip over as soon as you start it up. But you should never reverse the bend on a used impeller.
