Skimz Monzter E Series SM251

[honkit]

This skimmer comes with two needlewheel pumps. When I tried to fire up the skimmer today for its maiden skim, both pumps were not working although they were warm when I touched them after dismantling the skimmer body.

Has anyone encountered the same problem with this model or with any Skimz skimmer pumps?

they run wet. did u run it dry?

It's an in-sump skimmer so obviously it was run wet.

When did you bought this skimmer ?? Trying taking out the impeller to check if there is any crack on it ?

I know the much earlier batch have some issues with the Hydro pump impeller which has been replaced.

The skimmer was bought last week. I went to Aquamarin and swapped both the defective skimmer pumps for new ones - the new ones work fine now.
