New Pump for Vertex Skimmer

JUnit · 09/19/2016, 01:26 PM

Hi all,

I am in need of a new pump for my Vertex IN-80 skimmer. Since the skimmer and pump is now obsolete, can anyone make any suggestions?

Thank you!

Sedra 3500 pump should work fine.

Good ideas. Currently trying to track down a Sedra 3500 in Canada. Costs an arm an a leg to get one out of country.

Sicce psk-600 should work. I used the psk-1000 on an IN-100 it's almost too much for my skimmer. All I had to do to make the 1000 fit was sand down the output adapter it was just a tad too big.
