I made a needle wheel for a Jebao DCP-3500 pump and it works fantastic. I took the standard impeller and cut the vanes off of the baseplate, drilled 1/8” holes in it and superglued styrene pegs into them. The venturi is the one that came with my skimmer and fit the volute with just a few wraps of Teflon tape. There was zero other modifications made it fit and lined up with the existing holes exactly. It’s quiet too!
When ran at 60% it is using 19 watts and makes very fine foam. If I turn it up to 100% it will set an error code, I believe it thinks it’s running dry. I’ll have to play with it for a bit and figure out a solution.
I’ll get some photos of what I made when I disassemble for cleaning soon.
Its in an Aqua Excell skimmer, I don’t know the model number but it works well.
