Replacing a Sicce pump for Hydrofoamer

[Buganddoug]

I have a Sicce PSK2500 with a Warner Marine Red Pinwheel on my cone skimmer and would like to know a good replacement pump I can use for it?

Do you know the airflow and water flow rates of the pump?

 

[Buganddoug]

"K-2 RED" pinwheel pulls from 36-42SCFH, or up to 1200LPH of air

 

[rvitko]

The closest we would have would be the 9420.040. It's maximum volume on our skimmers is about 850lph of air. Since this varies with backpressure and skimmer height it may do more on a cone skimmer but I cannot say for sure if this will work.

My skimmer is WM K2 Cone skimmer if that helps.

 

[rvitko]

Yes, I saw that in the signature line and looked up the specs online, they claim 1100lph of air flow which is more than our pump does so it may not work properly, the only way to know for sure is to try it, unfortunately.

I just do not like the backward start up at times with the sicce pump.
Thank you for your time.
