The recirc skimmer can be fed with any pump that flows near the recommended rate since the recirc models get fed through a barbed fitting w/ hose and not the metric fittings.
BTW - The OTP pumps seem to be alright pumps, but you don't want to run them at a higher wattage than they are rated for or the pump will die prematurely. If you do the mesh wheel mods, a Kill-A-Watt meter is highly recommended. |
Thanks for the info...I dont mind choping up brand new stuff to make it do what I want lol
They pumps I used now are really needwheel skimmer feed pumps only fitting was on out put, the input/section had an regular deal so it dont suck crap up. (guard I guess lol) anyhow superglue gell works great not 1 leak on either pump. I will get a pic real quick and post it just to show what I did.
