Replacement pump/impeller for DAS BX1

BJCooper · 07/27/2006, 02:13 PM

I have an older DAS BX1 in-sump skimmer that ate its impeller (wobbled it out). DAS is extremely difficult to deal with...so it sits gathering dust...I'd really like to put it back to work. Its a great skimmer.

Anyone have an idea what I might use as a replacement pump/impeller? The original pump (looks like a rebrand) was a moderate sized Eheim (probably in the 900 gph range).

Thanks

The modern pump for that skimmer is most likely an aquabee. You can get one from Doug at Deltec or Brian at Finsreef. I must warn you the pump is very costly...

yeah, the DAS skimmers are the same as Deltec turbo's. They licensed a copy of them awhile back or something along those lines anyways...
