Identify a MAG pump...

[soulja221]

Soooooo i got a MAG pump given to me a while back and just sat it aside, now that im setting up a new tank i need the pump but dont know which size pump it is. Is there any way to tell which pump i have without the label or any sort of marking on it?

Taking exact measurements of its LxHxW would help.

okay, sorry about that. It measures 4 3/4in x 3 3/4in x 4 3/8in (LxWxH) and the output is 1/2 in

i take it that the sticker on the back of the pump is missing? i dont think the measurements are going to help identify it because mag drive 2-7 have the same measurements with the same 1/2" output. with those measurements it could be a 2, 3, 5, or 7. i could be wrong.

The dude above is correct. It is a 2,3,5, or 7... If you're totally stuck, depending on how much water you're looking to move, I'd probably shop around and look to buy a new impeller in either the 2,3,5, or 7. The motor block is the same... I once had to replace the impeller on my mag-12. I picked it up for $9.

lol, you mean to tell me that the only thing different between the mag 2,3,5 and 7s is the impeller?

And the size of the pump to accomodate the larger or smaller impeller magnet.

take the impellor out and take it to a lfs and see if they can match it up

That is not a bad idea but our lfs's do not stock many replacement parts like impellers.

Soulja - I would call around before you go to any of the lfs's. I know that Ocean's Floor (they actually may have a worth if they have them) stocks mag pumps. The only other lfs that I can think of that might also stock them is AT.
