Pump replacement for OR 3500

[taftonomos]

This POS pump has failed me for the last time. Power went out about 5 mins ago, so I go to check on the tank.....sure enough the Fing pump won't restart. I pull the cover off and inspect the impeller....looks fine. Re-assemble, turn power on...SNAP goes the shaft.

OR 3500 impeller assemblies are $55 some buck,s a whole new pump is $80....HMM...

Since this thing is going to be put out of it's misery with a 44 mag tomorrow, I'll need a replacement.

I've never had trouble with Mag drive's before, and I know Euro Reef uses Sedra's on their skimmers.

Both are around 100$ from F&S, maybe I can find someone locally that has one?

Whatcha think?

I use quiet one pumps on my tank. They are cheap and efficient. My longest running has been pushing steadily for about a year and 5 months with no problems.
