I purchased this skimmer in 2013. I'm not sure the pump is running at its full potential anymore. Are there other (stronger) pumps that are compatible with the skimmer? What about the new adjustable DC pumps, any of those work in my skimmer?
It could be the impeller, but the ones pictured now no longer look like mine. Will the new impellers fit in the older pump that I have?
Thank you.

Unfortunately none of our DC pumps will fit in the body of your skimmer. To see if we have an impeller that will fit your pump; please provide the serial number from the back of your pump and I can check for you.

I also have another one with SN 0034811. I assume they take the same impeller.

And thank you.

The current bubble blaster 1000 impellers will fit your pump and you can purchase one here:

That should get your pump up and running again.
