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!

You replaced the v2 Fleece roller??? What sump did/do you have? I have the Titanium 34 version and have been trying to get Trigger Systems to sell me a fleece roller, but they won't even answer emails. The LED lights in the sump are a JOKE and have started to leach rust into the sump, but no answer on that either!

If you have one of these sumps (Titanium or Platinum) and DID indeed fit in a new fleece NOT from Trigger Systems, do share which one so i can get one also!!!
