Vertex 180 skimmer broken impeller

[jviv1014]

Hey everyone, my vertex 180 skimmer’s impeller recently broke, and I cannot find anywhere a replacement. I understand that they are discontinued, and are there any websites that would have replacements? Or any other brand impellers that would fit? Thanks

Which model pump? Have you looked into upgrading the pump, much better option out there, I believe your pump draws about 80 watts.

I would start here and see which size will work, you will have to look at the fitting, can you take a picture of the whole skimmer on a table hooked up?

Yes I will tomorrow, the skimmer is at my office but it’s a vertex omega 180i. Do I have to buy a whole new pump? Are the impellers really that hard to find because they are discontinued?
