Red Sea Classic adjustment

Glad you jumped in da_colts! Thanks.

 

Yes, the bigger pump must keep the venturi cleaner because I did a routine, tear everything out, cleaning last weekend and there was nothing on my venturi at all! Clean as a whistle.

 

Just out of curiousity the Surge 600 pumps look exactly like RIO pumps.....are they the same manufacturer?

 

Hey there skenelly...

I can't answer your ?? as I don't know. Why don't you try and post that under 'general' and start a thread on it so someone can answer for you. They may miss it here ;D

 

no the surge is made by aquis and the rio is made by tamm. i think the surge is made to look like the rio so that you can use the surgr on things that rio's fit on i.e. aquamedic skimmers etc, the surge is a much better pump. the 1 on my skimmer has been running non stop for about a year with nary a skip, and i can't even hear it running. they are very good nicely priced pumps

 

interesting....my rio 3100 is pretty noisy in the sump so maybe I should look into picking one up.

 

I was running a Mag 9.5 on my Berlin Classic HO skimmer. It is very quiet and the upgrade in GPH really helped perfomance

I could hear the air running through the skimmer over the pump. Just another option

 

I got it all straightened out and it is working like a champ again.
The adjusting knob on the pump were the vent hose attaches was plugged up with calcium so I used a drill bit and cleaned it out and then I went to the next size larger bit and opened it up a little more and now it is working great........ John
