pump for aqua macro skimmer

Postby actino » Sun May 19, 2013 9:05 am

a friend of mine recently donated a used skimmer to me.

The pump is not working though. It had a needle wheel pump rated at 1100 lph.

This is roughly the unit with some minor differences:

Since the pump is broken, what replacement pump can I use that has a needlewheel?

Or just having air intake before the impeller is already good enough ?

Would it be a good idea to drill a hole at the bottom and put the pump underneath so there would be a bit more dwell time compared to the original, which is roughly the middle of the unit already.

Thanks.
