Hi, I have an old skimmer that used this pump. I need to replace it. Is there a suitable pump available, if so what?

What is the model of the skimmer? We need that in order to figure out which current pump works for you and if you need any adapters.

Hi thanks, for the response! It just says "Diablo" on it. I can't find a make or model number anywhere on the skimmer body. Cindy

Is it an Internal skimmer or is it External? The more details you can provide, the better we will be able to assist you.

It is internal, although if it can be used externally that would be my preference. I apologize for the lack of detail, it was given to me by another reefer who also had little information about it. I've attached some pictures. The person standing next to the skimmer is 5'5" for size reference.

That is an INT skimmer and cannot be used externally. It must be installed in the sump. The correct replacement pump for that skimmer is the VarioS-6S pump.

No adapter is needed.
