Which ATB 840 v1.5 pinwheel is this?

skh · 04/02/2011, 09:08 AM

Does anyone know whether this is the large or small ATB pinwheel for the mini airstar in the 840 v1.5 (PSK 2500)? It's 1 3/4" in diameter.

Thanks a lot guys. Does this version have the same startup issues as the purple pinwheel (PPW)? Would I be better off getting a small ATB pinwheel or a red demon/devil pinwheel?

The system hasn't been set up yet but will be running on a ~120 gallon DT + 40 gallon sump.

My understanding is that its the pump that has the start-up issues and its unrelated to the pinwheel. I have the 840v1.5 and went through three pinwheels in 6 months (all large) before I replaced the pump with the new version that comes with the 840v2. No startup issues so far with the new pump.

I just replaced my large pin wheel with the small one because of the start up issues. Noticeable difference in the foam head though.
