BBK supermarin 200 pump died =(

Jon, I only dealt with the mini pumps. Not sure what replaces these. According to the BK Owners thread on RC, even BK doesn't replace them

And you replaced them with wich?
What do you think of the hy3000?
It does screw right in as far as fitting goes its ok, worried about performance.

Should i just dump a perfectly good shell?

The mini series pumps are just rebranded Laguna pumps, I bought a few blocks from my LFS. Had to remount them to the plates, but that was a 10 minute job. If you can find out what your pump really is, you can probably find it for less.

Or, if you think you can fit another type of pump, by all means give it a shot.

damn , ok
wow well if BK doesnt even replace them , im really struggling to see the upside of buying a bk skimmer at all.

seems they have a 5year lifespan and then there done.

I change my vote to dump the shell and source out a new bubblemagus ..
again just my opinion.

Technically they do, just lots of people waiting 8 months or more for warranty replacements. Huge service mess going on with BK in N. America

from what i can tell its just a laguna 1500 block

We have a Royal Exclusiv motor block in stock. You're looking at $300. Bring yours by the store we will try to match it up, In hopes that its the correct one!

The mini series are for sure, but I can't find a good enough view for the supermarin..
If it is, the 1500 is no longer available, but the 1350 is the direct replacement.

On the exlusiv website they are selling a 1500-2500 ~500euros plus shipping
That seems to be the match for that body.
However 750$ for a pump is not appealling to my father-of-four wallet

1500LAH/660gph water
Compare that to

Hy3000 that i already have
1100L/h air 425 gph water

The Laguna 1350 block is probably $150 or less retail
