wegotjs Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I'm looking for a 100 to 300 gph used needle wheel pump for a small protien skimmer I found. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 You might be better off meshmodding a normal pump Mesh does better than needlewheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impur Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I don't think there is a post here, but i can help you out I did this on a GenX 4100 with a normal paddle impeller First i ground down the paddles to much thinner. This way i can add 3 layers of mesh. Next i took 3 layers of mesh, cut a hole in the middle of all 3 pieces to go over that nut on the impeller. I zip tied that down to the impeller and trimmed off the excess on the outside Fired up That was just the first try and it kicks some butt. I can do a lot to increase the airflow, but you get the basics from this. Let me know if you have any questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
