Does the OTP pump have a large threaded gray output adapter or does it have a small black one?

What model OTP pump did it have? If the skimmer had an OTP3000, then you go with an AQ3000S. If the unit had an OTP2000, then go with the AQ2000S.

So you have a CLSC-200INT. You can use an AQ3000S pump and there is no need for adapters.

The AQ2000S will NOT work on that skimmer. You need an AQ3000S pump.
