Looking for DC replacement for ViaAqua 2600 needle wheel pump

[fish_collector]

As the title says, I have a ViaAqua 2600 needle wheel pump that came with my Aqua Excell skimmer and it only works part of the time. It only has less than a weeks worth of use on it, I took it apart and don't see anything unusual with the impeller. Does anyone know if there is there a DC replacement with the same dimensions? The suction and discharge ports need to be the same or very close, it sits inside the skimmer body.

I'll post some photos in a bit.

What does everyone use when they need to replace a skimmer pump? All suggestions are welcome.
