The side opposite of the plug wire is a removable cap. Take the cap off and take out impeller. clean both then reassemble and test to see if it works.
I would get a maxi jet pump if looking for a cheap upgrade.

Maxijet. Buy them online though, they're sold at complete rip off prices in stores. I saw a Maxijet 1200 at Petsmart on CLEARANCE for $42. Amazon sells them for $17.99.
I have a maxijet, it's quiet and has really good flow. I only use it as a powerhead though, there are a bunch of attachments you can use to make it a circulation pump, or utility pump. As a circulation pump it's garbage, way too loud.

Much more powerful, I used to use it for changing water, now I run a dedicated water feed and drain line to my tanks.
You could use any sort of pump, dosent necessarily need to be a filter. I used one of these for a few days while I was waiting for the extra fluval fittings I needed to come in. You just need to be able to move water through the reactor.
