Ocean Runner 2700 Impeller Needed Fast

Ok - So my acros are doing great and I have new fish. Then I noticed my Turboflotor skimmer stopped skimming.

I took the pump apart to find that my needlewheel impeller is missing a lot of bristles that apparently broke off.

I'm screwed. Nobody local carries a replacement and I know that recently the USA Aqua Medic distributor burned to the ground!

Damn my luck.

Should I just order a whole new pump if someone has one in stock, or does anybody know any place with impellers?

Or would a coralife needlewheel pump work with it?

I need to figure this out fast!

 

hmmm...you can try to get an impeller from a diff company that the same size?...i dont know how different they are ill ask around though

 

Matt, check out www.seatechaquariums.com They sell the needlewheel separately and the needlewheel impellor. Check under filters, then protein skimmers.

 

Would any of these work. They've got a 2500 and 3500.

The new Euro-Reef's are running these as a replacemnt for the sedra. There suppose to be better then the sedra and are cheaper.

 

Matt, my marine depot catalog shows they have the ocean runner needle wheel impellor for $15

 

Here you go good call Raven

Thanks guys!
The one at Marine depot doesn't look the same.

My pump is a Ocean Runner 2500, but they call it the 2700 because it comes with the needle wheel impeller instead of the normal impeller.

Thanks for the lead! That is promising. I sent them an email.

What a drag! I'm missing 5 bristles. I wonder how that happened!

 

Interesting. I'll have to look up the GPH. Thanks!

 

Matt,

I have a brand new 2700, several actually Bummer though, since you NEVER seem to want to ask me for ANYTHING

Custom Aquatics sells the impellar as well.
