Need Help Repairing Return Pump!

[jbeanz]

Hey everyone, I recently bought a used coralife Turbo sea 790. The outlet piece snapped clean off the pump while shipping. I was wondering if there is anyway I can glue it back on and seal the crack for any leaks to continue using the pump or am I just sol. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried to find aa replacement volute but I can't locate one online.

i would not trust any type of glue on that, not worth the risk, replace the pump

contact coralife direct and see whether they sell the replacement parts for it

Thank's for the advice guys, luckily the package was insured. I filed a fedex claim and I am waiting for the money back. I was just hoping maybe I could salvage the pump instead of trashing it but if it's not worth the risk into the trash it goes. I'm actually surprised I couldn't find a volute. I am now leaning towards getting a brand new Japanese Iwaki , from what I've seen on YouTube they run fairly quite and parts are readily available.

I'm going to give coralife a call Tmm, I searched everywhere online and I couldn't locate a volute anywhere. Other manufacturers have this part readily available through online retailers. Hopefully they have some good news when I call it would be a shame if they didn't order it.

Ok just got off the phone with coralife, they no longer offer the Turbo sea pump however the same company that manufactures blue line/pan world was making their pumps. Turns out my pump shares the same parts as the blue line 40HD going to check for the part once I get home from work.
