So I need a water pump. Today at a thrift store, I found a 30-60gal filter (picture here) I was wondering if I could take off the bottom plating and take out the pump in there. I'm not sure if its a normal pump, like the one you would use to replace a water fountain, or if its an underwater pump. The bottom plating says "Do not remove this plate". I'm assuming that it wont go back on if i do, or its some sort of electrical hazard. I don't want to pull it off and possible ruin it if it wont get me what I want. Has anyone torn one of these apart, or know if a pump like what I need is in there?
