I have a protein skimmer of unknown manufacture and the pump is going out on it. The pump is a rio 1700 which puts out about 600 gph and has two intake air hoses attached to it. I would like to save some money and just replace the pump as to the body of the skimmer is still good. Question is could I upgrade the pump to a needle wheel design and increase the effectiveness of the skimmer
