Lf: broken aqua lifter

[Steventnguyen]

Anyone have a broken aqua lifter pump laying around? Accidentally snap one of the connectors off on my new aqua lifter.

why a broken one?

 

[Steventnguyen]

So I can use it for parts to replace that red part lol

 

[Steventnguyen]

I tried glueing it back but the glue were sticking to my fingers more thn the broken piece

 

[Justbecause]

I have one that's working

I tried glueing it back but the glue were sticking to my fingers more thn the broken piece

What's behind the broken piece? Possible to drill and then glue an acrylic tube in?

 

[Steventnguyen]

Good idea, this is just a spare pump and its brand new, just feel like its a waste so I wanna repair it.

 

[Steventnguyen]

I'll try to drill the hole wider and glue the original piece back in. You're a genius Tina

If that was me I would just buy a new aqualifter pump and use the broken one as the spare. You can always remove the red from the new pump if it breaks and put it on the old pump. I carry spare pumps on everything I use in my system including bubble blaster pumps, aqualifter, etc. aqualifters are $15 new,even at $20 in some stores it is still cheap enough to buy one.

Yeah right now I'm going to use the avast dosing pump for an Ato, just bothers me that I wasted a brand new pump

 

[psykobowler]

I use the avast ato too with my apex controller and the aqualifter pump. I am still using the same aqualifter that I started with 2 years ago. I know some people speak highly of the tunze osmolator but the avast one is more flexible IMO because I can always get an aqualifter pump locally.

Have tried to email the manufacturer. Sometimes they send bits like that out for free.

 

[Steventnguyen]

Yeah just contacted them actually they ask for my address to send me the part

 

[Steventnguyen]

Wow guess what came in the mail today, a brand new Tom's aquatic aqua lifter pump! I just emailed their customer service and asked if they sell a replacement pump, and she just ask for my address and said nothing else. I thought she was just gonna send me a part but instead they send me a brand new pump! That is so awesome of them! Thank you KOLLER CRAFT!!

Good deal, good to see some companies stand behind their products and know what makes great customer service.

 

[Steventnguyen]

Yeah that was above and beyond. Made my day

 

[doosiec]

Wow that's awesome glad I still used their products.

Bought a bunch of replacement pieces from BRS I should have just emailed them too lol.
