Via Aqua Multi Skimmer

[lightbolt75]

Hiya guys,

recently my Via Aqua skimmer motor died on me. As in, switch on the electricity but the motor doesn't run to pull the water into the skimmer.... no sound at all. So I assume the motor must have burnt out. Is there any way to get a replacement or I need to buy a new skimmer? Any hang on skimmer to recommend? Thanks....
