I needed to get another pump for other reason, while I was shopping for pump, I came across Eden 140 at the good price which was only a little bit more than the smaller 135.
Being said, SK181 was originally equipped with ES2800 pump(still said that on skimmer body.) I believe the change was done when they made the 110V model(Skimz only had 220V model last year.)
I personally believed ES2000 was originally Eden 135 which was rated for 2000Lph of flow, while ES2800 is Eden 140 at 2800Lph of flow. At least thats my theory.
I wanted to try see what the skimmer can do when it's fitted with pump that it was originally designed for, and I needed a pump what will do 500gph. So the decision was made to convert the ES2000 back to regular water pump and Eden 140 to a skimmer pump.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with original pump, but I like to try with new thing in this hobby.
