i believe there are a couple for sale.......

Hammerhead is too big for that skimmer, but it can be throttled back.

Hammerhead uses about 375 watts, but two pcx40 would use about 230 watts and run it just fine.

A Dart is likely too small, but their middle pump that uses 280 watts or so would work well.
