Can anyone help me find an Eheim needle wheel?

PLEASE?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Does anyone know of an eheim dealer that carries eheim NEEDLE WHEEL IMPELLERS for their 1260 pumps? I found 2 places on the web, both carry the same picture, different names-same guy being shady. I can't find anything else besides these 2 sites, and they won't call back. Their site won't let me check out, there's a bug with it I've tried several times, even with wife's phone too. I can't find a source for this needle wheel, I need some help! Seems no one sells this part, even people that carry Eheim, even the regulars that sell their other products, like dpeot or DFS. No luck anywhere. Anyone else able to help point me in the right direction?

I know it would be better to change skimmers, but getting my old one out, and something comparable in size most likely won't fit, I don't want to waste any more time trying this route, but now both routes seem like giant time sucks. I'm still hoping replacing the needle wheel is the easiest way to fix.

These are the only places I can find them, and they won't respond/unable to check out. I'm looking for another source.


Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Here's one. It's pretty expensive.

That looks like it. Thanks! I appreciate you finding that for me. You're awesome!

I'm not smart enough to know the difference between the 2 model choices given, so now I wait and see if this site responds too... I can't believe this one part is so hard to find, let alone the price, just finding it is difficult!

My old broken shaft works better in the old eheim pump, WAY better than the brand new sedra5000 pump I bought, hoping to replace it. Not even close in performance, and draws 15 watts more. That's why I'm trying to find this impeller, this eheim pump used as a skimmer pump, no other pump I've come across comes even close to performance, let alone electric consumption.

This place will be able to help you out. It is a reputable company.

Yes sir! I dealt with a guy named Jason today. Nice guy.

This is the place. They have (2) choices. For the next guy looking that finds this, order the 10-12LPM version (NOT the 14-16 version). This (according to Jason) is the replacement for the 1260 eheim. It's ordered, and unless I update this in the next week, assume it's working!

GQuinn, I greatly appreciate your input! :beer: THANKYOU!


I couldn't find a replacement, I'm guessing because it's originally for a "Reef Dynamics INS135E or INS150E" protien skimmer. Even when I found that store, that part would NOT come up just searching "Eheim needle wheel impeller". I suspect Reef Dynamics is a "knock off" of Ehiem.
