Wow nice skimmer I keep looking for one, I will give my 150 external go on by new 250 gallon tank.

Very nice. I've been using my original Eheim 1260 non-stop for 12 years now.......

Joe

i2ik · 10/19/2019, 12:23 PM

Glad to hear! Those Eheim pumps are among the best on the market. Easy replacement if something would happen too! I will be selling my H&S A200 2x1260 soon if someone is interested.

Crowed · 10/24/2019, 03:04 PM

Can anyone tell me a neck diameter of A150 model?

Adamc1303 · 10/27/2019, 12:04 AM

I loved my A150

IRISSERVICE · 01/05/2021, 04:42 PM

anyone still in the Club?
Just ordered a need pump to refresh mine..

Mimbler1 · 01/05/2021, 04:50 PM

I still have my dual pump and going strong, but need to get a back-up pump as I've had to repair the venturi fitting on mine. Did you get a full replacement pump or just the Eheim generic portion? I've not been able to find anyone that sells the full equipped pump.

IRISSERVICE · 01/05/2021, 05:00 PM

i ordered a complete pump/needle wheel/piping it direct form H&S

Excellent! Thanks so much for your reply. They are great skimmers, didn't know the company was still in business since the US distribution dried up. Mine has been running for nearly 20 years, and has helped greatly in allowing our tang to reach age 21 and still healthy!
thanks, Mike

Mimbler1 · 01/05/2021, 05:16 PM

I looked at the site, were you able to request a 110v version, or did you just switch the parts over to a locally procured 110v? Thanks, Mike

IRISSERVICE · 01/05/2021, 05:28 PM

I emailed and asked for it and they replied with yes..

Mimbler1 · 01/05/2021, 05:29 PM

Awesome! I'll do the same. Thanks for your help with this,
Mike

IRISSERVICE · 01/05/2021, 05:36 PM

I stopped using the eheim in mine and converted over to using a red dragon mini speedy 3 60w skimmer pump running at only 44watts (this is a 60w pump). 1 red dragon replaced 2 eheim 1260. I have an H&S A250 with the wide body. Works much better now too, less maintenance, no washers to replace, etc.

I thought the 150 skimmer used a 2000/1 Aqua Bee pump?

IRISSERVICE · 01/06/2021, 09:06 AM

Yes, I changed to the A200-1250 and never changed my signature..lol

moondoggy4 · 01/06/2021, 10:01 PM

How was the shipping experience from Europe? I thought about buying another H&S skimmer and having it shipped.

IRISSERVICE · 01/07/2021, 05:03 PM

Great Experiance...Better than Deltec..
I was getting a deltec to replace the H&S 150 which I thought I could not get parts for. And Deltec Arrived broke and they had no replacement for it. I found info about H&S in germany.. Emailed him, he gave me price to replace parts and for Giggles I said how much is a A200-1250, and I was shocked it was much cheaper than Deltec Shipped. So repaired and sold A150 and Got an A250

Fantastic, did you get it from Sewatec? I think I will put my H&S A150 external on my 120 gallon tank this weekend, I have a RO Regal 200 INT on it right now, it is way too big for the tank. OH yeah, back in the day you would have to give your kid to them as well. It nice they let you keep him.
