Needle wheel impellor for a Mag 7?

[grallster]

Does one exist that will work with this pump? I'm trying to make my crappy Kent Nautilus work better by using a needle wheel with the venturi eductor.
Any thoughts?

I made one from a broken impeller. I used acrylic and mesh it's on my DIY skimmer for the last 8 mo.

I know it would be a lot to ask, but can we see some pics of the Mag 7 impeller with the mesh wheel?

I'd be interested in seeing that as well.

Finless--can you explain what you made it from and how please?
Thanks

I made a NW from a Bio ball for a Mag 9,I know people say not to because they don't last long but mine has been running for almost a year now and I can see any damage to it yet.

Pics are on my old computer. I'll try to find them. I've made two types. One is made out of acrylic I cut out with a holesaw the same diameter as the old impeller and the cut mesh(from Homedepot scrubing brush) and used nylon screws to hold it down. The other is two peices of acrylic with cuts like a needle wheel then super glued together then glued to the old magnet.
The one with the mesh I used for 8mo. The other one has been
use for the last 3 mo. and has been the better one.
