Axel pump. suitable for fish and aquatic animals

I have been using a CPR backpack skimmer for several years and for a hanging skimmer it is great. With the new pump, it has become even more efficient to remove waste from the water. Fantastic upgrade.

Pros
  • Less restrictions on the pump results in longer pump life
Cons
  • Some bugs

Great pump swap!

Integrates seamlessly with my existing BakPak skimmers. I figured I'd have to shell out $130 for a new skimmer and found this replacement pump instead. It's quieter and more efficient than the Rio 600.

Pros
  • Includes venturi, venturi valve and inlet filter
Cons
  • Empty

Good pump Good customer service

I bought this pump at the same time as the Bak Pak Skimmer because I thought I needed that upgrade to the Bak Pak. When I got the Bak Pak skimmer this type of skimmer was already installed so now I have a backup pump if needed. The pump runs quietly and serves its purpose. The after sales service for this pump has been excellent.

Pros
  • Moderate power consumption - 20% less than the Maxi-Jet 120
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Protein Skimmer Venturi Pump

Missing parts listed outside of box. My guess is that since the Revain listing only mentions received items, I should NOT have assumed it would include manufacturer-listed included items. I foolishly thought I was getting a NEW unopened item from the manufacturer. I needed a pump for a failed unit so I had to abandon it. Generates a lot of noise compared to the Rio Venturi pump. The failed installation in Rio lasted 8 years. Next time I will order Rio from another seller. Besides, it works.

Pros
  • UL Listed with 6ft Grounded Plug
Cons
  • Nothing Here

Missing parts, microbubbles

I purchased the RIO 600 to replace my CPR BakPak. The first thing I noticed is that the pump is much bigger so it doesn't fit in the pre-skimmer box. Also missing were the pipe and air mufflers, as well as the intake filter that should have been included. (I hope none of my animals swim too close to the air intake.) Having to replace my dead Rio pump I didn't have time to go back because of the missing parts. In general, I can say that the pump is normal. I have another important matter. I…

Pros
  • Increased air to water ratio
Cons
  • Useless features
