just wondering in general what is wrong with the people at coralvue? i meand according to them they have discontinued sicce ( not that that matters to me much) but they are also trying to upsell me on alot of stuff i inquire about. most recent example is a pump for this diablo DCS-170INT ( yes i figured out the model of skimmer LOL but even then dimension specs dont jive exactly as those on paper). original diablo DC-3500s had max air of 900 L/h ( 31.5 SCFH), which puts the replacement pump i need as a varios 2s which is 900 L/h ( 32 scfh), however, coralvue is trying to push me into a varios 4s or bubbleblaster 3000 both of which are way to big spec wise compared to the original pumps specs and i am also factoring in that the 4s is what comes in the box with a new regal 200 int skimmer which has an 8" reaction chamber ( assuming of course the 4s that comes in the box with the skimmer has the needlewheel impeller in the box and not the water impeller like mine did).
so with my rant out of the way, would i be correct in that the varios skimmer pump i need be the 2s to match the original diablo 3500s or would coralvues recommendation of the 4s ( which basically boils down to being a diablo DC 5500s) be the correct one? marine depots "pro" said he would just go with what coralvue said but to be fair this "pro" also said the varios pumps arent skimmer pumps and didnt seem to understand there is a "S" skimmer model of every varios pump, while brs pro on the the hand after putting me on hold to do some researching came back and said that the varios 2s was same or similar specs to teh original diablo pump and he recommended the varios 2s based on teh information he saw.
so what are your opinions both on my issue with coralvue and what varios pump i should look at for this old diablo DCS-170INT skimmer
