I have a syncra shark 3.0 needle wheel for my skimmer, I took it out for a cleaning and put it back together (or so I think) but now it won’t work, I can’t find a manual online for it and I bought it second hand with the tank, anyone have a manual or any information about it before I consider it dead and buy a new one?

Looking on their website, I couldn’t find that exact pump, I wonder if it’s been discontinued or was specific to a particular skimmer? That said it looks pretty similar to this pump.


I can’t access it on my phone, but if you go to that page, you should be able to find the user manual maybe that will help?

Appreciate your help, I’m gonna try contacting sicce directly and see if they have any information

Make 100% sure this part is on correctly. Otherwise, the impeller wont seat correctly.

also, dry run (quickly) the pump without the cover and see if it turns....that usually works for all of my Sicce pumps....

I’ll double check it and give it a try, thank you!

I had the same problem put some food grade grease in the parts where the propeller touches the pump body and cap
