I have a Diablo RO skimmer. I bought it used but it came with the psk 1000 pump. I now need to replace the pump (leaking voltage)

The problem: my psk is stamped 880 gph. All I can find now is Psk 1000 stamped 370gph.

What gives? What do I order? Any recommendations on a particular seller?

Thanks in advance.

Fragtastic Reef has psk 1000 for $120

I ran into the same problem with mine leaking voltage. Replaced it with a Bubble Blaster 3000 though, just get the adapter and it fits great

Check with Coralvue for a direct replacement pump for that skimmer. Also, if you would rather upgrade, I believe Tunze makes a Hydrofoamer that will fit as well.

I ended up using coralvue. They forgot the reef octopus adapter but when I mailed them about it they rushed me the part. They won my future business.
