scott711 August 13, 2018 Share August 13, 2018 So as luck would have it, I am going on vacation soon and my skimmer pump failed. It is a mini red dragon 1500. I am not sure what is wrong with it. It will turn on, start to spin and then stop. Just to keep my skimmer working, I threw in a mag pump and put a tube in the intake to suck air, so far that has worked, but I need to either get a replacement (not sure what would work as an alternative to a red dragon) or figure out what is wrong with the pump. I cleaned the pump and impeller, but that didn't help. Skimmer has only been running for about 7 months. Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epleeds August 13, 2018 Share August 13, 2018 Is it under warranty? BK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gioNVA August 13, 2018 Share August 13, 2018 If you're looking for a different brand pump, you can check out the Coralvue bubble blaster or a Laguna pump. You are probably going to be looking for a BB 3000 or 5000, Laguna 1350 or 1500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott711 August 14, 2018 Author Share August 14, 2018 It is a bubble king mini 1500. I have been talking with Royal exclusive over PM. I have tried soaking it and so far no luck. I was looking at the laguna pump because they are almost identical. My problem is that I am leaving for vacation. Luckily my mag drive pump with a hose inserted into the intake has been ok.
