What materials are the pump housing and impeller made from?

They look and feel like heavy duty plastic but it could be a plastic coating on some kind of lightweight metal.

The front end of the pump including the impeller is all plastic, there's usually a brass threaded insert on the impeller so it may be fastened to the motor shaft, the back half or motor housing is steel, the base is also plastic. The plastic is not high temperature so running the pump dry for extended periods may damage the plastic parts and pump seal. I've never seen one of these booster pumps come with an all brass or bronze housing with brass impeller, filter pumps yes but not the pool cleaner booster pumps and I've been in the business for 35 years.

It's stainless. I highly recommend this motor. It's plenty powerful and the foot control is awesome.

I don't know what the housing is made of. I have already installed it. Sorry. Maybe you could contact the manufacturer?

The housing is plastic but the piece in frontis stainless. I am very happy with this purchase. I keep in on my counter and use it often. It chops food quickly and is easy to clean.

The pump is plastic. It seems to be of somewhat better quality than plastic pumps on sprayers costing much less. I am pleased with the purchase and it is much more dependable than the many "throw away" sprayers that I have previously passed.

The impeller is metal. Bonus tidbit, you can order a replacement for twenty dollars or so if you happen to operate the unit without the guards and suck a big piece into the housing that bends the blades.

Sorry, I don't know. It's been chugging along perfectly for so long that I recycled the packaging (and l'm away from my tank, so I can't take the actual pump out of the water and look at it). Wherever it's made, it's a good, dependable pump.

The base is plastic, so be careful when removing it. If you have a warranty, contact the place you bought the pump from. I did and got a new replacement withint two weeks.

The entire housing is metal, The handle is metal with a rubber grip on top of the handle for our comfort. the circulart ring the guides the hose out is a very hard plastic which I thought at one time broke, but it just wasn't flipped the right way. I have had this since march of 2012 and it is still going strong!!! Well worth the investment!!

The impeller is metal. The vacuum we received had an issue where the machine screws that held together the case around the impeller prevented the impeller from rotating. We were able to easily address this problem, but anyone buying this should be wary of the possibility of that problem.

The housing at the bottom (suction) end is plastic, the tube is metal, as is the actual motor casing. Its' a dandy sump-pump - much quieter than the old one, and a good buy for the money

If you are speaking of the pumping lever, ours is made of metal. I hope this helps

The pump head assembly (what you actually see on your counter top after installation) is stainless steel. Those who say otherwise are mistaken. The rest is made from rigid plastic. It installs easily and works very well.

On the pump I had to take the old and new pump apart at the impeller housing to make it work. I had to use the old impeller housing on the new pump. I tried swapping the mounting bracket on the pump but bolt holes did not line up.Vern

It is a plastic material, however it is quite durable. It should be noted my unit arrived with a problem with the fan belt - it loosens, wears, and then requires a new belt to be installed. I am now an expert at this, and Poulan did not stand behind its warranty. When the company was contacted, there was never a response. My unit will be sold this spring, at a deep discount while making the purchaser aware of the problem.

It's made of hard plastic and ball bearings. Very durable and well constructed.
