Do you need the whole thing. You can get the impeller needle shaft at amazon. If it is the motor I would just pick up a new one unit, or use this time to upgrade the skimmer

I should have waited to see where to post, thank you for the info. I put it in general discussion as I am new to any kind of forum/posting.

It’s all good. I think you posted in the right place. It’s always good to introduce yourself and your tank. Good luck!

Welcome to R2R!!! Although I haven’t used a Rio on a skimmer I have used a Rio 1100 and 1400 and found them to be reliable inexpensive pumps.
