Eheim, as with many other manufacturer, (aquatic or otherwise), have products/parts made in China. I believe the entire Classic range is made in China now. A good clue will be to look for the "made in Germany" text, if it's not there...you know it's not from Germany. However, Made in China does not necessarily equate to a reduction in quality.
Sometimes, user ignorance is the cause of a lot of equipment failure. How many hobbyists really borther to read the manual and understand the limitations of the equipment? How many users actually abide by the recommendations?
However, since production has shifted from expensive production bases, it's a pity that the cost savings don't flow downwards to the consumers. Especially in terms of spare parts.
Cheers,
