Aquascape Designs Pump 3000 The Aquascape 3000 pump,SFA 3000,has had a high rate of failure. There are a couple great replacement options that offer a better value. Aquascape pump repairs are not possible because parts are not available. Aquascape 3000 pump replacement options: Shinmaywa Norus pump works well in a standard classic Aquascape skimmer filters. This is our most popular pump for an Aquascape Designs 3000 replacement. Standard skimmer fitlers have a mesh leaf net held in place with two bars. This pump is great for low and medium head pressures or longer streams and waterfalls. Aquasurge pumps works in either the Standard classic skimmer or the newer Signature series skimmer filter. The Aquasurge 3000 or 4000 are both good options. If you have a long stream or need to more flow, go with the Aquasurge 4000 pond pump. These replacement pumps will automatically ship out with the fittings you will need to make a simple conversion at no extra cost. The Aquasure 3000 only uses 180 watts! This is great for standard ponds and streams, but if you have a long waterfall or higher head pressure, you may want to consider a Shinmaywa Norus pump or a larger version Aquasurge pump. Signature Series Skimmers have a half moon shaped rigid basket leaf trap. **Adapters for Aquasurge pumps are included with your order to make the pump fit with your classic or Signature series skimmer filter from PondDepot.com **Basic adapters are included with each Norus pump.
