epleeds April 8, 2018 Share April 8, 2018 My 6i skimmer pump (dc3000) has taken a crap on me. The skimmer pump won’t rotate even though I have taken everything apart and cleaned it. The pump controller lights up but for some reason the shaft won’t spin. Does anyone know what replacement pump I can use for the skimmer that will be a direct fit.

GraffitiSpotCorals April 13, 2018 Share April 13, 2018 I have Marie injectors you can use on a regular pump to supply the skimmer. Imo they are better than needle wheels anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what marine injectors are. I was told by the RLSS rep that the dc-3000 motorblock is dead and I need a new pump. I need a pump that can fit in this skimmer. Do u have something?

GraffitiSpotCorals April 13, 2018 Share April 13, 2018 Mazzei injectors let air into the pumps line to make a skimmer bubble. The bubbles are smaller than a needle wheel and you can use them on any skimmer. If it's an internal skimmer pump inside the body of the skimmer I am not sure how you would run it though.

epleeds October 24, 2020 Author Share October 24, 2020 No. I ended up buying a new skimmer. RLSS said that they were 2 months from getting the new pump. They might have them in stock now. It’s been a while since I posted this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did you reach out to them and when did you get that information about the new pumps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
