I always prefer to buy locally, but it dosnt always happen. I have my heart set on a AQUAMAX C03 skimmer and they seem to only distribute them to the big boys. So its 8weeks back order from marinedepot >:(. If only one of our local stores could carry these.  :)

Something we could look at but the trouble is most skimmers do not come with Canadian electrically approved pumps so we wont carry them. I know many distributors don't care, but this is company ethically important to us.

Bandit,I talked w/ that company and they do not sell directly to any store,They are distributed by the wholesale arm of Marinedepot.So if they don't have i would say the problem is at source and both are located in SoCal

Kudos to you for that approach !

Ethical is the ONLY way to go ... and yes I know some LFS's and distributors may not feel the same way but I applaud your approach. Way to Go !

CSA is nice, but if i got a csa skimmer it would be the only pump in my system out of 12 that would be approved, lol but its a start

I get where you're coming from, but considering the issue that caused Aqua-Digital to do the recall and the certification on the new pump, I'd say the skimmer is one place where you would want a UL certified pump.  We can argue this until the cows come home, but I commend Michael for stepping up and fixing the issue and holding a line in the sand of using a good pump instead of the cheapest one he can find and making the most profit possible like everyone else does.
