Help with pump ID

[Maho.B]

Hello, wondering if anyone knows what type of pump this is? Two of them came with my Red Sea Max s400 and they are the circulation pumps in the back chamber. I bought the system used so don't have any manuals and it seems red Sea has changed pumps over the years. I pulled it out to clean it but I'm unsure how to disassemble it. I want to do a full clean and make sure nothing's corroding inside. The only thing on the exterior is a logo of a whale. Anyone know this model let me know so I can download a manual as to how to disassemble it. Thanks!

Looks like a skimmer pump . Has it got a needle wheel impeller?

From what I can see no, it looks like a standard impeller. Not sure if the pic is good end to tell

Being an Italian pump, it may not but most Sicce is adjustable flow and you can also look up sicce pumps and look at images and see if you see a twin to your pump

Awesome! Thanks everyone. It doesn't have anything written on it but can find it's twin and get the manual from there. Thanks

The front plastic plate comes off the pump to access the impeller. That's about all you can service on those pumps tbh .

I found my model online and saw how to remove the front plate and impeller. It doesn't say if there's any metal parts inside the body and I am always reading to make sure and disassemble all pumps about once a year to make sure nothing's corroding and poisoning the tank. I soaked it in citric acid and will clean it up and put it back in the tank I guess. Thanks.
