Looking for skimmer pump

Double check with SWC, but I think you can replace the pump with a Sicce PSK-2500 which should be easier to find. I'm not sure if you would have to mod the skimmer at all to fit the Sicce in there or if it would just fit right in. If you do go with the Sicce, replace the needle wheel with a Red Dragon or you may have re-start issues.

Myself I would either buy a brand new Laguna off ebay for $120+$20 for shipping or like Asmodeus said buy a Bubble Blaster which uses the exact same Laguna motorblock but approx $100 more going that route. Personally I will never ever own a Sicce psk-2500 ever again. RC has lots of info on them!

Did you have issues? Did you try the Red Devil?

I tried a pinwheel similar to Red Devil which worked but it was loud.
Laguna>Sicce lol

Awesome thank-you for the offer

if I can't find a pump in the next 2 days I will take you up on this wonderful offer. Either way I'll let you know, I'm going on a pump hunt tomorrow (Steve and Ken weren't working today

) so I'll see what happens.

I tried to google Edmonton and laguna pumps but AI was all I could find. Does anyone know if anywhere else in Edmonton sells laguna pumps?

Laurie try a pond store or greenhouse that deals with pond stuff.

I can't remember exactly but I bought it from SWC when I was in there couple years ago
