tripleu Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hi all, My 2nd hand RSM's circulation pumps are dying. One of them carked it, and the other is on the way out (despite cleaning impeller). Just a thought, how about getting a small submersible circulation pump (like Eheim Compact) and plumb it into the two outlets? I think the dimensions should fit. The compartment where the stock RSM pumps sit has width 110mm and depth 80mm and the Eheim Compact is 94(h)x54(d)x78(w). Thought that might be a cheaper way of doing things (LFS still haven't gotten back to me about getting replacement RSM pumps after a week) and also saves an extra powerpoint to plug my Koralia into. Appreciate any thoughts , Michael. Link to comment

Found their website before though, and being in Australia, they don't ship here..... There's no shop here in Australia (that I can find online anyway with Google) that sells the circulation pumps. Will keep searching. Cheers, Link to comment
