Two (2) XP3 filters - Lowering Price

[johnhoover]

Downsizing my tanks and I've got 2 XP3's for Sale. I'd rather meet someone relatively local and not have to ship them. I'm in the south Nashville, TN area (Murfreesboro).

$70 each, I'm going to say $20 for shipping if I have to. PayPal is fine, cash if I deliver. I won't mind driving part way to meet someone.

Have all parts for both, except for the output valve near the spray bar. The spray bar holes have been enlarged slightly from stock.

Also included (per canister) are new replacement quick-disconnect o-rings and Impeller Cover Seal. And a package of 6 suction cups with clips. I never got around to replacing them.

How old are the units? Does the missing piece prohibit you from using the spray bar?

[johnhoover]

I'm guessing about 3 years, I got these early last year and never really used them. Had both in use overwintering koi and used one of them packed full of filter material clearing dust from gravel out of a new tank. Purchased replacement o-rings and impeller gasket for each but never installed.

the missing part from a rena parts list is a flow control valve that sits just before the spray bar. You could place a valve in the output line if you really needed one.

If I'm shipping these, I'm intending not to include the hoses. They fit really tight to the fittings and I'm not sure I can get them off without cutting.

how much would new hose's cost ?? seems a bit high ...... I do really want one, have been looking for awile . I guess I will watch this and see if anything looks like a better deal in the future of you selling them .

( expain why you would need to cut the hose ? looks like you could just throw it in the box ?? )

[johnhoover]

Hoses I would guess would be $1 to $2 a foot, depending if you're using generic 5/8" ID (16mm) or the Eheim hoses that are in the picture. I was intending to remove them to aid in packing so that the shipper has less of a chance of breaking the connections.

The hose connections are a press fit. Warm the hose in water, press or twist on, let cool to seal. I've not ever had one leak but I also use clamps for security.

If you really wanted the hoses, i could try to get them off but I'm not hopeful.

You said three years but then said early last year. Does that mean they have only been used for a year or so and they just sat in your house for the other two years or what?

How much would the shipping be to 00911? And is there no way that the hoses could fit in? It would be best to receive it with hoses...just like it is, without removing them from where they are.

To gustavo85, I have had these for about a year, got them used guessing they were about two years old at the time.

Sold these locally, thanks everyone for the interest.
