turbo flotor with OR 2500 and impeller instead of PH 2700


Hello all

I recently bought a 2nd hand turbo flotor 1000 with OR 2500 with impleller needle (maybe the original needle for ph 2700). The pump is not original although inside ar same. For air intake there is a small extension pipe attached to the water intake where you can attach small pipe. But I am not very much satisfied with the size of the bubles very inside of foam cup. So I am bit confused. Does this DIY OR 2500 with the needle has the same performance as the PH2700.

Thanks

Gokalp

Welcome to TRT!!!



have you tried raising the skimmer up in the sump? these skimmers are very sensitive to water pressure. raising them up in the sump can greatly help there performance. is the venturi tube (small tube coming out of the pump inlet) clean?
