Upgrading Tunze 6055 to 6095’s

[pelphrey]

Thanks @rvitko for helping me out!

Picked up the following to swap out on my 6055’s for wide flow -

Qty 2 - 6095.130 Propeller Housing
Qty 2 - 6080.200 Protective Housing
Qty 2 - 6095.700 Drive Unit

Second to last image is upgrade. Last image is stock 6055!

I messaged Roger and had him add more to eBay since I wanted two sets.

Super happy with the new configuration

I didn’t know this was possible. I got sick of all the detritus in my sump; so I removed the wall and placed my Tunze pointed it to the floor. Perhaps this upgrade will give me MORE Power!

You’ll get a wide flow for sure, won’t increase power.

Tired of seeing this yet? I’m not!!! The flow was amazing before, now it’s incredible.

I ordered a set. Now I’ll have 2 matching ones. The previous was purchased upgraded already. Thanks for the write up.

YOu could probably get away with using the 6055 impellers instead of upgrading the impeller. Or maybe buy one, for now, to see if you can see if there is a difference.

The 6055 impeller will for sure work, I just decided since I got the bigger cage Id upgrade them well!

 

[Blue Spot Octopus]

Yeah, I cannot tell which are which so I probably got mine mixed up and I cannot tell.

The 6095 is slightly bigger

When I bought these parts I was assuming that I was turning a 6055 into a 6095. I now see that the motor block is actually different, 18w vs 21w. So effectively it’s just creating the broader flow of the 6095, but not necessarily the power (+ ~1000gph) of the 6095.

Sorry if I was misleading, but yes. You get the wide flow but not the 6095 power.

Wasn't blaming you, it was my bad. Just thought I'd share in case someone else is considering.

I found another thread on here today where someone mentioned the 6095 motor is higher rpm.

I'd like to do this mod as well, but can only find the 6095.700 drive unit on ebay.

@rvitko can we get some 6080.200 and 6095.130 available on ebay?

A few 6095 front grates would be nice too lol. Im needing a couple.

I have no baffles in my sump and run a quiet one at 500+ gph and it keeps it sediment free.

exactly what I did. I asked for specific parts and he added them to eBay. The great thing is, if shipping is over they will refund the difference.
