I have a Helix skimmer set in a 5,000 gallon pond. I am looking to replace my pump do you think it will fit with the Helix skimmer?

not sure if it will fit your Helix, however, I bought this pump, which worked well for about 4 hours. I realize anything can be defective, but the damage to the unit caused by this obviously cracked impeller was just incredible. there was no repairing this thing. I sent it back, and requested a refund, but was sent another pump, .... after I had closed the pond for the winter. so, I really don't know if this one is ok. the entire unit is cheap plastic. if it stays together, there is a lot of water pumped out of it. it actually sounds a little anemic though for a 4-5000 gal pond. mine is around a 1000, and this would have been perfect. beckett has been around a long time, and made good on the problem, but I waited a little longer for it than was appropriate, especially if it was in the middle of the season. I will use this one once I get things going again in a couple weeks, but I will buy a high quality one also, and keep the beckett for backup. the one that I had originally replaced was an aquascape, and it was way old, so they last. but they cost too. I'm going to buy a new aquascape one anyway. it's not worth cheaping out again.

I am not sure about the Helix skimmer and I am not sure what brand of skimmer I have but it fits just fine. I will say that I have been using this brand of pumps for almost 13 years. They last about 2 to 3 years and I am running mine 24,7 year round. If you keep it clean they will last longer. This has been a good pump for my waterfall.

Yes this is the motor I have, just make sure it fits your pump. My pump is the superpump II, sp3007series.

This was advertised for a large pool. Mine is a 4'x18' round pool. I'm not sure of your pump size or valve size. As noted the internal parts were a perfect swap for my system. But the collar of the new valve would not fit the fittings that came on the pool.

That should work fine. Mine is in 7.5" and it works great. Nice little skimmer and takes very little room.

If your pump has a vertical shaft 7/8 inch diameter and the spacing of the mounting legs are the same as the featured replacement pump,it should fit. Go to specs of the replacement pump and check the spacing and shaft diameter.

Yes - It should fit on your pool. It is not necessery but well worth the money. I tried it on my 22' pool and it did not fit, the diameter was too small (different size skimmer). I had to hook up the sand filter directly to the old pump under the skimmer basket. The old pump is not plugged in, of course. I read how others removed the impeller from the old pump but I did not and it seems to work fine.

I used as a replacement for a hayward superpump. Sta-rite does look like the same flange, but you need to make sure the impeller screws onto the shaft. Bearings on mine are making lots of noise after 5 months of use. In my opinion you may want to look for a name brand or stay with the name of the pump manufacturer.

It needs to be submerged around 10-12 inches, there is an optimal waterline on the skimmer. I would not use this skimmer for more than 20 gallons. It actually works very well for an airstone driven skimmer but it is no comparison for a needle wheel pump skimmer. The issue is that it doesn't move much water through it. It will pull some gunk out but needs to be adjusted frequently. IMO spend a little more and go with the sca 301 skimmer. It's around 80$ and will be good for up to 65 gallons and will actually perform as you want it to

I don't think so. My pond is roughly the same size with a drop of about 3 feet from the top of the waterfall to the bottom of the pond. It has worked perfectly. I have had a couple of other smaller pumps before this on and I am so glad I switched. This pump has been amazing. It rarely if ever needs cleaning and it keeps my pond very clean. I think you would be very happy with this pump.

Am sorry, my pump is a different model; however, it could still possibly fit yours. Wish I could help.

Not sure, do you have a soft pool, if so I believe the skimmer is smaller. The ones at walmart or kmart I now are smaller, and this wouldn't fit, too big.

I called Anthony Sylvan who built my pool 15 years ago and they said the skimmers they put in were Pentair S20 Admirals; therefore, this should fit!!

I have an above ground pool...Intex style. It fits the filter/pump/skimmer attachment.

If you have a new barracuda it should work fine. There is only one moving part.make sure there is a steady suction from the skimmer. If you have no sharp corners it should work fine.there should be a steady pulsation on the hose if it is working right.you might check for any air leaks.....Dennis

Yes, it is supposed to fit that model. My issue though is with the pump not being fully wired. You will need and extra wire before pump will work

Absolutely, create a shelf on the inside of the pond and set the skimmer on top of that shelf. The true question is does your pump have a way to draw water from the skimmer box?

I purchased this unit as a replacement for the motor on the hayward pump I have. It fit perfectly and works great........BTW the reason I had to replace it was that the well in which I keep the pump flooded..........burning out the motor. On your unit, just check the model numbers carefully and it should be fine. Good luck
