Move Trigger Systems Sump Fleece Roller Motor

[kboogie]

Has anyone either moved the motor for the Fleece Roller on a Trigger Systems Sump to the opposite side or retrofitted a different motor mechanism that is much lower profile? I currently have an issue where my plumbing doesn't create enough room for the motor assembly. I am using hard plumbing. I ultimately want to use a 2" drain, which will never accommodate the motor assembly. I was using dual one-inch into the Sump from a WYZE and bushing, bringing the 2" down to 1.5" into the WYZE fitting and the 1.5" output from the WYZE fitting down to 1". I can't do a different sump, and I can't get this one out without tearing down the whole tank. I'll go without mechanical filtration before I tear down the whole tank.

Sounds like you are in a similar situation.

If I had more time, I would test 3D printed mods, but I'm so busy with clients right now.

My version 2 replacement motor died last fall. I did not want to spend more money on the same thing. I was able to fit a Clarisea 3000 into the sump next to the original roller section.

Do you have photos of it? What all was involved? Mine failed as well and I haven’t been able to get a response from trigger for months, replacements are out of stock. Need to get some mechanical filtration back online!
