Red Sea ReefMat 500/1200 Drive Unit Repair Kit
The wear-parts fix, before the drive needs replacing. The Red Sea ReefMat 500/1200 Drive Unit Repair Kit bundles the drive's serviceable wear components for the 500 and 1200 roller filters — the cheaper first step when advancing has gone noisy or hesitant, ahead of a full drive unit swap.
Key features
- Genuine Red Sea wear components — the parts inside the drive that wear first, in one kit.
- Services the existing drive — no need to replace the whole motor and electronics assembly.
- A fraction of the drive unit's price — see the ReefMat 500/1200 Drive Unit product page to compare current pricing for the full unit against this kit.

Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable as first-line servicing when the drive is advancing but sounding rough, hesitant or noisy. Not a fix for a drive that has stopped completely or won't respond at all — that's the ReefMat 500/1200 Drive Unit itself.
Care and maintenance
Fit the kit at the first sign of a noisy or hesitant advance rather than waiting for the drive to fail outright — replacing wear parts early protects the motor behind them and is the cheaper of the two repairs.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by Red Sea's manufacturer warranty against defects, in addition to your consumer guarantee rights under Australian Consumer Law. Ships standard parcel post.
Common questions
How do I know if I need the repair kit or the full drive unit?
If the roller still advances but sounds rough or hesitates, try this kit first. If it has stopped advancing altogether, you need the full drive unit.
Does this fit the ReefMat 250?
No — this kit services the 500 and 1200 drive unit specifically. The 250 uses a different drive.
