EuroReef pump fused (NEED NEW ONE)

[springeri]

Can anyone help me.

I have a EuroReef skimmer, that the supply pump magnet has fused with the plastic housing.

I'm in need of a new one. Where is the best place and price to get these?

I went to Tongs' and it was $159. I have the SEDRA 3500 I believe.

thanks,
TN

Melted plastic? Did you run your sump dry?

You need to get one from ER unless you can get the impeller apart.

Good luck with ER, they have they WORST customer service

get a pump from jeff's and buy a needlewheel on the internet.

sump didn't run dry... but something went wrong.. I didn't have a chance to catch it in time before it burnt out.

Needle impeller is still good, so I'm going to see if I can get a replacement pump at jeff's after work today..

Hope I could find it for cheap.

thanks all for the great advice and help
