Replacement for bk mini 180 gen 1 pump
 

My old one broke down a few years ago before I shut my tank down. Looking to start another tank and I’m not sure that I can get the proper replacement. The impeller has a ceramic (white shaft).

Can the whole assembly be swapped with the v09 pump?

I don't think there is much point in replacing the completely but so since you only need the motorblock. It's not going to impact performance really but if you really want a complete pump, this is the replacement VS09 version.

This is the replacement motorblock for your existing skimmer which is all you should need.

Do I need to order a ball bearing for inside the motor block also, or is there one integrated into it? I was just checking out the old pump to make sure it wasn't a seized bearing or other failure when I noticed that there appears to be a bearing inside the block too.

The bearing is included with the new motor.

Thanks! Any idea when the V07 motor block will be back in stock?

Good question. I am checking with Ft. Myers and Germany to verify that we are actually out of stock on them and if so, when we will have more. Should have an update tomorrow.

PM sent.

Awesome thanks!
