Hey, Jeremy

I've got a used CPR sr4 that is pumpless. Its a venturi skimmer that comes with a RIO 1700RV pump. Do you have any ideas on what would be a better pump? I know you have needlewheel pumps, but I'm not sure about the sizing.

I think either the 460 or 590 needlewheel pump would work fine. I"m using the 225 on the insump version of the bakpak, and it really works good.

OK, the tube on this skimmer is probbaly 24" high, and looks to be about 4 inches in diameter.. you think they 460/590 are enough to handle that?

theres a diagram on the bottom of what the skimmer is like. Let me know if you think this will work. Thanks -Rich

I think the 590 would work quite well in that situation. :)

Hey Jeremy, I'm gonna head down there tonight after work. I should be there around 6-6:30 barring a horrific traffic catastrophe.
