Hi all, i need a replacement pump for my super reef octopus 2000sss. the problem i"m having is my skimmer
is maybe 3 yrs and it looks like you changed it a bit. my pump has the air inlet tube on top of the water inlet, but whats different is where air mixes with the water. mine goes straight up into the chamber where as the ones on your website go off at 90.

any help would be apprecited! thanks Mark

Are you referring to this model:

Just want to double check that we are talking about the same SSS skimmer. Otherwise, can you please provide pictures of your skimmer with the pump installed?

Thank you,

Hi Carlos, yes that"s the one i have so where can I find this model?
what"s confusing is it says its a 2000sss with a 1000 bubble blaster pump,
and then it says it has a 2000 bubble blaster needle wheel?
sorry just old age creeping up.

thanks Mark

Mark,

Our website literature refers to the pump as a Bubble Blaster 2000. I double checked everything and did not find it referring to the Bubble Blaster 1000.

Regardless, how old is your skimmer and how old is the pump? If it is more than 3 years old, then it is out of warranty and you will need to purchase a new pump. Here is the link...

If the pump is less than 3 years old and you have proof of purchase, then please start a ticket using the "Submit a Ticket" link to we can start the warranty process.

Hi Carlos thanks my only concern is the part that is turned 90 degrees in the picture mine goes straight up
like the air intake. can the front of the pump face come off and turn 90 ?

thanks mark

Yes, the volute can be removed and change it's direction.
