Well finally after 1yr 3mo, my stocks skimmer pump is on the fritz. Anybody have a recommendation for a placement skimmer that will fit in a C250? Tunze 9004 perhaps? Will it fit? Any others to consider? It appears that stock replacement pumps are hard to come by, and if they only last a year thats junk in my book.
HELP! Rsm c250 skimmer

Last Sunday I pulled it apart, gave it a good cleaning like I do every few months. Last night I came home from work and it wasn't running. Pulled everything apart, gave everything a good look over reassemble and it started to work again. Then this morning while I was sitting down having breakfast I heard it stopped working. Again, polled everything apart, inspected everything, lubricated the shaft with a little bit of ptfe grease and put it all together. It ran for 5 minutes and then stopped. So i turned the switch off. Came home tonight just minutes ago, flip the switch and it started to run again. These stock pumps are Italian made junk.

I have a Tunze 9004 in the sump of my 250. Works great!

Your going to have to break out the tape measure. It slides easily into my sump. Here are the dimension.
Dimensions: 4.3" x 3.5" x 12"

That might be a slightly smaller chamber than the original, I think I had about 1/4" on both sides and like you said plenty of room to add a couple more. LOL. Thanks for the update.
