IN-STOCK limited quantity available free ground shipping in Continental US only The new Octopus Bubble Blaster pump is available for an optional upgrade replacing the Sicce pump for the Octopus Extreme 250, 300, & 350 Protein Skimmer Line. The HY-5000S is a 60 watt skimmer pump that are assembled in China all the parts for them are imported from Germany, Japan and the U.S. We are expecting to see to 85 - 90+ SCFH, depending on skimmer design (numbers will vary). The new pumps are reported to have zero start up issues and come with a 3 year warranty. The pump will also have the upgraded silicone nitride shaft and bearings. Calcium will not adhere to this material.
A key point to emphasize is that the BB pumps are the only pumps on the market designed specifically for protein skimmer use while all the others are modified from water pumps. With the new Bubble blaster pumps the skimmer will be able to effectively turn over more water due to the higher water pull and the huge increase in air pull. This pump should rock a Octo/MSX body (probably maxing it out) and can't wait to see some in action. One thing I really notice on my Bubble Blaster 5000 is it runs completely cool to the touch externally, so there should be close to zero heat transfer to the tank water running it internally. This also opens up a whole new door for those mod enthusiasts out their that want to turn there internal Extreme skimmers to external. Includes: Volute Air line Unions Needle wheel
Dimensions: (this is without any plumbing attached just the pump)
