Vortex Diatom Filter Magnetic Drive Retrofit Pump

This is a custom fabricated magnetic drive pump assembly for Vortex model XL and D1/DFF filters. It replaces your existing pump with a quiet, maintenance free magnetic drive pump. These units are made by Bear Valley Aquatics and are not supported or warranted by Vortex Innerspace Products, the maker of diatom filters. The kit consists of magnetic drive pump unit plumbed to a new Vortex main casting. Very little assembly is required, just take your old pump off the filter jar and put the new one on. Keep your original pump as a backup or spare.
