Certikin Adaptor ‘O’ Ring (PX71427)

Certikin Adaptor ‘O’ Ring

The Aquatron Pump has undergone significant changes over the years, transitioning from the MK II to the MK III style back in July 1994. In the realm of Certikin Spares, the MK II is affectionately known as the ‘Old Type,’ while the MK III carries the moniker ‘New Type.’ To easily identify the version of your Aquatron Pump, simply inspect the grey sticker situated on the returns end of the pump – if the serial number concludes with an ‘N,’ you’re in possession of a ‘New Type’ pump.

For those keen on delving deeper into the intricacies of pump components, distinguishing between ‘New’ and ‘Old’ impellors is a fascinating pursuit. By scrutinizing the dimension on the impellor’s inlet opposite the thread, a vital distinction emerges. An ‘Old Type’ impellor boasts a dimension of 44mm, whereas the ‘New Type’ proudly presents a 54mm dimension.

When it comes to the realm of impellors, subtleties reign supreme. The distinction between the 1.5HP and the 2HP ‘Old Type’ impellors lies in the shape of the internal fins. It’s a tale of two designs – the 1.5HP impellor flaunts elegantly curved fins, while its 2HP counterpart features fins with a prominent flat section, a visual cue distinguishing the power levels.

Ordering a capacitor for your Aquatron pump entails a critical decision – discerning the type of motor that powers your aquatic companion. Is it a Lafert motor or a Certikin motor? Deciphering this conundrum provides clarity in the procurement process. A MK II pump aligns with a Lafert motor, while a MK III proudly boasts a Certikin motor, a testament to the evolution and refinement of pump technology.

Aquatron Pump

The Aquatron Pump changed from MK II to Mk III style in July 1994. In the Certikin Spares List the MK II is referred to as ‘Old Type’ and the MK III as ‘New Type’. If the grey sticker on the returns end of the pump has a serial number ending in ‘N’ then it is a ‘New Type’ pump.

It is possible to distinguish between ‘New’ and ‘Old’ impellors by measuring the dimension on the impellor of the inlet opposite to the thread. On an ‘Old Type’ impellor this dimension is 44mm and on the ‘New Type’ is 54mm.

The only difference between the 1.5HP and the 2HP ‘Old Type’ impellors is the shape of the fins inside the impellor. On a 1.5HP impellor the fins are curved, and on a 2HP impellor they have a visible flat section.

When ordering a capacitor for an Aqwuatron pump it is important to identify the type of motor. Is it a Lafert motor or a Certikin motor? A MK II pump has a Lafert motor and a MK III has a certikin motor.
