Vertex Reactor Pump Replacement

Looking for a replacement pump for the older 1.5L Vertex Zeovit reactor. See picture below. Something that will work without modifying the current plumbing.
Thanks!

I had a similar issue with a vertex calcium reactor. A replacement was not available. I didn’t have time to modify for another pump . Carolvue sells metric / us adapters.

You may be forced to do some plumbing work.

A heat gun works magic on pvc. it softens the material and helps one overcome the metric to American problem your having.

I had a time replacing 2 skimmer pumps done in metric, end of the day they are still running 2 year straight, and now I can plumb any pump into the system.
