I have a skimz SM251 that had an impeller blow out. Pump still works. So I am looking for a replacement impeller but given that Skimz dipped and closed up business I can't order once from them. Does anyone know an impeller that will work on the es5000 pump or a pump that I can replace it with that will fit the skimmer?

Your gonna want a sicce pump of around the same gph. A skimmer venturi one.
Usually they list the actual dimensions of the pump too.
I'd measure the one u got and try and get one the same. I did this awhile back on my bmk swc150. Swapped the aquabee or whatever crap pump it was.lol

Did you ever come up with anything? I’m now in same boat.
I supposedly have someone that can reach skimz but i am not hopefull. I bit the bullet and bought a redsea skimmer. If my contact can get the parts i am requesting i will let you know. I didn't try any other pumps until my contact has a chance. I guess they talked to skimz 6 months ago but i am not holding my breath.

From what I’ve read I thought skimz closed down shop and is no longer a company. Hmmm yea please let me know if you come up with any impeller for es5000 or even es5000 pumps I need 2 but would take 4. I have 2 of these skimmers 1 with 2 bad impellers and the second I’m to scared to shut off and check now………
