BUBBLE MAGUS 220. HELP

Trocar70 · #1 07-15-2013, 01:06 AM

Hi everyone. I came home today to find my protein skimmer making a loud noise. Turns out my impeller on pump has broke into a million pieces. It's the EHEIM pump. Now I have looked online and the replacement piece is or seems to be very pricey. At 149.00 dollars plus shipping. Would anyone know where I could possibly get this cheaper. Any help would be great. As I can't go long with out it. Oh and I'm from Alberta.

thanks.

Not really sure. That's why I'm asking. It's for the bubble Magnus. So maybe that's why.

So I have been looking online for a replacement. It is a needle wheel impeller. It's pretty sad a guy spends 800.00 dollars on a product but can't find a replacement part. And when you do find one they want 150.00 dollars for it. When you can buy the pump for almost the same price. Someone must know where I could get one from. Does anyone else use the bubble magus 220. With the eheim pump. And how long can I go with out a skimmer?
