I recently picked up a hob aquamaxx skimmer. The guy didn't have the original sicce pump as it had stopped working for him. So he gave me a regular submersible pump which we tested and it seemed to work. My question is, I know skimmer pumps are needle wheel pumps and I was wondering, would it work effectively with the simple submersible pump I currently have? I got the skimmer for 30$ altogether so I thought it was a really good deal since a new aquamaxx shark pump is only about 110. So if I need to replace it, it's still much cheaper than a brand new skimmer. Especially since he had the bubble stopped as well. Also curious to know if anyone would have a suggestion for what replacement pump I should buy if I should buy a new one. Should I just stick with the aquamaxx tyst it comes stock with or is there better options? Thanks!
