i will check when i get back to the shop but i remind on rc a will back someone was saying it was the same motor black as the bk's

they do looks very close and i should have bk pump at the shop so i can check on this

Yes they do, but the 600 puts out 1000 lph water and the 800 puts out 1500 lph
Both motor blocks are the same, so the only difference must be the impeller and/or the volute.
However the askoll 1350 puts out max 5100 lph. So if your impeller and your volute fit the 1350 then the pump should be a direct replacement.

That would be good info to have Dave
Thanks

Yes.

My LFS did a 1350 replacement into a mini, I may be able to track the customer down and find out what his thoughts are.

Great. Ask which mini as well. I have an 800 I would like to resurrect.
Thanks

Pretty sure it's the 800. I know it wasn't the 600

Clearwater ponds here in Errington sells Laguna pumps. Have you tried them Brad, or are you looking for a total shift away from them?

Dom, I'm fine with that pump, but the one I need is discontinued. I would need to find a store that had old stock.
Who was it that worked there again? I forget his name..

Kyle, but he's gone now, took a job out in the oil patch.

I can call, but I may check some of the pond shops around here first. Not so far of a drive :)
