Tried to buy sedra pump from JL but they are not needle wheel, only reg. impeller. So i ended-up buying a needle wheel impeller for my sedra 5000.

Well then, it looks like Tang Daddy who has misinformed me.

and the question remains if this skimmer is equipped with the needle wheel version or not...?

To be honest I couldn't tell you, I don't know the difference to look at it

That is called a paddlewheel impeller. Yes, I know it looks the same as a standard impeller, but it works the same way as a needlewheel by chopping up the air/water mixture. Most skimmers use needlewheels. Having a paddlewheel on a skimmer pump is quite rare.
