Help need pump

[AllysonP]

I need a pump for this skimmer asap

 

[Kieth71]

I have a psk 1000..will sell for 125.00

 

[AllysonP]

Will it fit? This was the pump on it before

 

[Kieth71]

Hmm,I am not sure. I will say that i just looked at what these pumps are selling for new and would sell for 75.00..not 125.00.
The one i am selling is a sicce psk 1000. Mine is is near new condition

This is what my pump looks like

 

[Kieth71]

That looks like a Laguna pump.

 

[AllysonP]

It says power jet 1500

 

[Kieth71]

I actually think its a laguna\askoll pump. I am not sure they make those any more

 

[AllysonP]

Grrrrr

I found a few online on pond supply stores.

Ya I have found those too but I need it with a needle wheel. Or really my pump works I just need the needle wheel

I'd take backup if Allyson doesn't take it.

You could try Elite reef in Arvada. They did sell those skimmers under the web address swcskimmers dot com so they might have parts in stock.

 

[AllysonP]

i did write them waiting to hear back

Is the needlewheel broken or is the impeller assembly bad? It's highly doubtful SWC had a special impeller made. If you can remove the impeller from the pump you might be able to match it up with another. The pump would still work with a standard impeller, just not as well. But they make replacement needle wheels for impellers so if it is one that can be removed you would have the option of just replacing your needlewheel. If the impeller itself is bad you could always buy a laguna 1500 impeller and put your needlewheel on it, or do a mesh mod to a standard impeller. You could just buy a needlewheel pump for a different brand skimmer and use it instead if you can find one with the same connection fitting to the intake of the skimmer body. As long as the pump has it's own venturi it will work.

The psk1000 is your best option, easy to mod the swc to use it. I did a mod to an swc for a guy on Scmas and used the psk1000, such a workhorse pump and the thing foams like a champ.

 

[AllysonP]

The needles are missing pump works fine. But if the psk works maybe I'll just mod one
