Need a replacement pump for my deltec

JGoslee · Apr 21, 2008

Anyone know which pumps are compatible with deltec skimmers? My pump died on my ap600 and I really don't want to buy a new one from deltec so I'm looking for a compatible pump.

I called them for a spare for my 902, i fell off the chair when he told me $565 for a new pump. They put them together with those metric fittings so it hard for you to not get it from them.

that why I would never buy a deltec over a h&s

the aquabees on h&S are half what deltec wants

finally gave up on you

would a h&s pump work on it? i know the body is slightly different, but it can't make that much of a difference can it?

only if the suction and the return are in the same spot on each pump

Yeah I'm done with Deltec. It took me 2 months to finally get in touch with someone and when I did they told me my pump only had a 1 year warranty and if I wanted a new one I would have to pay for it.
So basically I spent $650 for a skimmer that only lasted 16 months.

I'm thinking I'm going to order this pump from Das. It's the aquabee 2000/1

Anyone know if this will fit my skimmer body?

Not 100% sure, but since DAS bought the rights to the design of some Deltecs, it might be a good chance it will fit. Good luck. I hope it works out. BTW, what exactly is wrong with the pump?

Did you talk to Marvin with D&D the Aquarium Solution (I think thats the official name), the new Deltec distributor?

It just died. When its plugged in nothing happens.
