Three people I know personally with this skimmer had this issue. It's footprint is also pretty ridiculous.

Any skimmer with two or more pumps is simply a shortcut around producing the right pump for the body.

The way the market is trending I personally wouldn't invest in a new skimmer that doesn't use a DC pump.

good answer
However Steve look at the Deltec like the 701 with a single pump,
702 with a dual pump a amazing skimmer too.

the BK 300 Ext uses the 2500 pump I believe and has only the 1 pumps the internal one has 2 pumps doesn't make sense.
any of the deluxe models uses the RD 2000 and the RD 2500 200,300 ,400 Deluxe Int and EXt
