Vertex skimmer...no replacement parts

Don't purchase a vertex skimmer as there are no replacement parts to maintain. No impeller or replacement pump. Don't understand why company's carry such products.

Call the number I listed or email adam@vertextechnologies.net. If you emailed through the vertex aquaristik website it has to bounce from Germany back to California. Try the contact I've listed, or talk to Albert at AquaCave, he can put you in touch with the people at Vertex.
 
It doesn't accept a different skimmer pump than what came with it? I find that hard to believe.

It does, but not necessary, Vertex has the pumps for currently produced products. This is posted in the Aqua Cave forum and i would be surprised if the OP has talked to Aqua Cave as they are an Authorized dealer for Vertex and know the contact info.

What part are you looking for and for what product?
 
Syncra sk 400 impeller or complete pump. On no website, sicce didn't reply, vertex didn't reply, marine depot, premium aquatics, aquacave....no one could help. So I purchased another skimmer as this has been going on for 2 weeks now. Should it be this hard? I have been doing this for over 10 years and have never had to hunt something down to this extent.

Which skimmer was this for? I don't recognize that Sicce pump as one used on either their skimmers or reactors.
 
yes, omega 150......worked well too!

I can say with complete certainty that Omega 150 parts are available. I'm shocked none of the mentioned retailers could assist you. If you call or email the contacts I posted they will without a doubt be able to get any part for the Omega series skimmer for you right away (assuming they are in stock and not awaiting a shipment of them)
 
Thanks for the help reddogg! At this point I'm calling it and have moved on to another product. I appreciate the info tho.
 
Same boat as you. Had the older IN. Pump finally gave out. Searched for a month thru tons of vendors. Ended up with Nyos and love it. Tons of skim on my 180. But for the cost of Vertex you'd think the support would be better
 
iv been trying to source an impeller in South Africa for the last month. No longer being stocked by local distributor and all stores iv contacted online don't have stock. Struggling to find a supplier willing to ship to South Africa
 
I have had nothing but issues getting in touch with vertex...I love the look of their stuff but just assume I have to replace it if I have any problems with it.
 
Untrue, Contact Vertex at (714) 274-6550. They carry replacement parts for all currently produced products.

Call the number I listed or email adam@vertextechnologies.net. If you emailed through the vertex aquaristik website it has to bounce from Germany back to California. Try the contact I've listed, or talk to Albert at AquaCave, he can put you in touch with the people at Vertex.

What is the issue? I've been able to get Adam on the phone or by email every time I've contacted him.
