are spare parts available for the turbelle stream, if
so, do you sell direct?

parts inquiring

6080.40 swivel arm
6080.23 sliding piece w/hinge
6080.12 hydro propeller
6080.13 suction housing
6080.64 drive shaft
6080.641 m4x16mm screw


thanks

Parts for the stream are just coming available. I do have some concern though about the parts you list. If you want to convert a regular Turbelle pump to a Stream contact me offline, you must be sure you will not overdraw the coil and fry the pump, some interchange is possible but only with one model. I would not recommend this for the Electronic pumps as the Electronics themselves are different and this would make it too expensive to change. Changing the pump in this way will void the warranty in any case. I have a couple of complete drive units with propellers on hand and more on the way but full parts availablity usual begins a few months after product release.

This might work because the propeller is smaller than the 6100 propeller. The primary problem is the electronics have an alarm feature that is set to a higher threshold, in general the driver has more power to prevent the added resistance of the prop from sounding the alarm, it also resets the controllers to work within a range that is 40% - 110% so to speak over the standard drivers range of 30% - 100% you will have less power and some problems with alarms and noise in the low range. I am very hesitant to recommend this as it could damage the electronics if it is not a perfect match, only a watt meter as well as a three step alarm calibration can accurately tell that the assembly is correct. I have not yet been trained in calibrating 6100 series drivers, I do know though that it is a slightly different system then a 7400. In all likelyhood by the time parts outside of basic props and drive units are available though I will have completed training on this board and will be able to help you do this. Even so the calibrations do require some custom tools and some knowledge and if it can be done I am willing to do it for a nominal fee, probably $20 seeing as it takes about 1hr, I would suggest however waiting until I have a conclusive answer and some more experience in this matter. If you feel compelled to experiment just don't do it when you will be away for an extended time, I am unsure what the result will be as you are using a 40mm prop instead of the 42mm prop and perhaps this will lower the resistance to a tolerable range for the issued driver.
 
thanks for reply.
i am little bit confused about the drive boards.
the part number for the driver board is the same for both the
6100 turbelle stream and the 7000 series electronic powerheads.
are the driver boards tuned/calibrated for a particular model prior to being packaged for a partiular electronic powerhead/or stream?
thanks

To the best of my knowledge, yes the Electronic components are identical. I do know however that the alarm and power potential are indeed calibrated to the specific pump. Basically you have to check

A) Does the alarm turn on when it runs dry?
B) Does the alarm turn on when the intake is restricted?
C) Does the alarm attempt to reset in a few seconds?

You basically have to work through all these parameters until they all answer yes and then it is tuned properly.

The power calibration is similar. If power is too low at a certain interval the alarm sounds. Also, a watt meter or power analyzer should be used to verify a power consumption of 44-45W. If this is wrong damage could result. Many factors such as friction, cooling internal flow and resistance of the water enter into this reading. I really cannot recommend you change your pump at this time. Let me try it first and let me check with Germany.
 
The final word from Germany is that any 7100, 7400 or 7410 pump in a production series after x22 (as stamped on the pump top cover) can be converted to a Stream with kit UPDATE6100 at a cost of $65.80. This is all the parts you listed. A pump from a prior production series should not be converted and doing so voids the warranty. The older pumps have a differently tuned driver, a smaller diameter bore and a different drive magnet, the cost of a conversion becomes prohibitive and special tools are required to enlarge the bore.
 
Yes, and I can imagine I have a very puzzled customer that I emailed two weeks ago saying they were in. Boy, gets hard to keep it all straight after a while. Sorry. I have them and they look very professional, you get the manual and everything for a little over $65. Call me tomorrow between 10-5pm Central at 512-833-7546 and I will get one off to you.
