Yes Omega 150.
Our place is near Kilmer Elementary, coq centers like 10 mins away if traffics nice.

I just want to make sure i have help lined up for my dad if we cant problem solve over the phone saturday.

And it might be nice to have another close by reefers number for 911 calls if something happens and he needs help.
Vancouver islands a bit too far away for me to drop everything and rush over lol.

Another option if your dad can't get going with help
Is to take it to Jl I'm sure they can fix or replace if needed

Yeah thatll probably be the next step.
Knowing my luck id get an over the phone eye roll haha.

I really really hoping its just the impeller needing a boost.
But it might help to have another set of eyes that knows what their looking at.

What are some good replacement pumps if it is the pump? Theres usually more then 1 option right?
Its not going to be one of those... cheaper to buy a whole new skimmer is it?

Thanks you 2, I will let one of you guys know later when he pulls the thing out of the sump if we need some in person help

so we got it working. He thinks it was the impeller. Says the red part on that piece seems "worn" on one side. Its now much noisier then it used to be. But running.

Jeeze replacement impellers are $80, wows....
Not sure if that's even it or not.... but its working and skimming so... fingers crossed it can handle surviving for awhile longer?
