Maxi Jets & standard RIOs have a venturi on the outlet side. For applications like my skimmer RIO makes the RVT that has a rejuvenation venturi that takes air in on the suction side for more air flow & smaller bubbles. I did not know, until Jose showed me, that Premium Aquatics sells a kit to make Maxi Jets function the same way.

Maxi jets don't work the same. I need a pump that takes in air through the impeller with the water.

I have an Excalibur skimmer & I think the RIO is an 800. The pump is connected to the skimmer with a piece of  1/2" vinyl tubing, so the connection should be easy if there is a similar pump.

Ben
When these pumps burned up, did any of them cause a problem or poison anything in your tank?
 
All
My skimmer came with a Rio rejuvenation venturi pump installed & all this bad press is making me nervous! Does anyone know of a replacement venturi pump?
 
TIA
Chris
