    Dont have a pump, but may I suggust that you STOP using the current one, it's overheating for a reason, it's broke, and you will have bigger problems if it catches fire....

    Plus, don't sweat. You can go a good week without it. It is not an emergency thing. Find one on line and order it up. It will be fine.

    I would contact them to find an authorized dealer that is close. Their pumps have a 1 year warranty I think. Octopus Connect

    Yep, any authorized dealer can get one. Peredhil had to recently get one for his skimmer, the exact same as yours. Maybe try sending him a message.
