Royal Exlcusiv, makers of the famed Bubble King skimmer line, has updated their high performance Red Dragon pumps. The slight modifications will not increase raw performance, but will create a more durable product and should increase the pump’s lifespan. Most noticeable is the addition of an anti-lime calcium bypass to the Askoll OEM motor block. This serves to cool the motor when used in external operation and was previously only incorporated in certain skimmer applications.
The second addition is a titanium shaft upgrade on the largeer 10m3 and 12m3 Red Dragon models. These two modifications have already rolled out and will be hitting dealers shortly. Pricing will not change for these upgraded features.
For those unfamiliar with RD pump pricing or stats, please see below:
- 4.5 m3 – 1,188gph – 48w – $579.99
