Aquabee bushings

[Something Fishy]

I have two Aquabee pumps. One is a 2000 and used as a feed pump. The other pump I'm not sure of the model but is the needlewheel pump connected to a Deltec APF600 skimmer. Both have problems restarting. The feed pump I have to bump up and down a few timed until it starts to pump. The skimmer pump, I have to blow down the airline. My LFS has suggested that this may be due to the bushings and that there is a new updated red bushing ? How may I obtain a set for each pump ? :thanks:

have you given the pump a good clean out with vineger? the problen of the pump sticking could be due to a build up of calcium on the impeller shaft.
do you have the old style black bearings on the pump?

Tried their spares online section but it doesn't appear to be up and running yet. I'll email them. Thanks for all the responses

I emailed Deltec a few weeks ago, received mine last week. Not had a chance to put them on yet though :annoyed:
