I have have been running a RLSS DBI 12 skimmer for several years . Original pump was a Waveline 10000. Trying to find a replacement pump. The Varios S8 seems to be a good match. Looking on line, all I can find in Varios skimmer pumps is up to size S6. If the impeller are the same size, then I can try to get a pinwheel to fit the S8. Anyone know if they are interchangeable or if they make a pinwheel for the S8? Anyone have any other suggestions to replace a waveline 10000 skimmer pump?
Thanks

Got an answer but not the one I wanted.

No, the Varios 8 is a return pump only, there are no pinwheel impellers for that pump. The Varios 6S is the highest flow rate skimmer pump Reef Octopus makes.
