How do I convert an Ehiem 1260 into a NW pump?

Kaos · 10/19/2008, 06:47 PM

I have an Ehiem 1260 laying around that I have no use for. I'm really wanting a recirculating skimmer but don't want to spend all the $$$ they cost. I have found a skimmer body that I think will work perfect but I'm not sure how to convert my Ehiem 1260 into a NW pump. Is there anywhere that sells the NW for them? Is there anything I need to do to the volute to change the pump over? If I do need to alter the volute is there anywhere that sells the already altered ones? I know ER sells the whole assembly for the Sedra pumps. I'm hoping that somewhere sells the same deal for the Ehiem ones. TIA.

That's exactly what I was looking for. The funny thing is I looked the other day around ER's site for that stuff, but never found it. Obviously I didn't look in the right spot. Thanks!
