if you can't found one, the water blaster/bubble blaster pumps from coralvue should be very close to those pumps

The link I had for the askoll 1500 has now been deleted. They replaced it with the askoll 1350 so I wrote them and asked if my old impeller from the 1500 would fit into the 1350.
I should have bought the 1500 last year. Darn!

There is always this:

If they have any let me know

give rogers aquatics in surrey a call, id bet they have some laguna 1500 pumps there

The new Maxflow 1350 fits the impeller, but it is a bit smaller. Not sure how that impacts performance.

Dave, pretty sure that doesn't fit. It's got to be exact.

Brad does your BK pump say 600 or 800 on it?

[Aquattro]

600, but I believe both use the same block

Yes they do, but the 600 puts out 1000 lph water and the 800 puts out 1500 lph
Both motor blocks are the same, so the only difference must be the impeller and/or the volute.
However the askoll 1350 puts out max 5100 lph. So if your impeller and your volute fit the 1350 then the pump should be a direct replacement.

I've repaired a couple BK with the Maxflo 1350 without issues.

Thanks, good to know. Applicable to all models of mini, or?
