    Use the Eheim Installation Set 1 if you have priming problem for any canister filter. I install it for all canister filter that I own. Say goodbye to the priming problem for good.

    The same thing happened to me. That's called the impeller shaft. It cost me 21 bucks to replace. Mine snapped into 2, don't ask me why.

    its actually quite impressive if u think about it... 2 years, impeller shaft broke, but pump motor still working fine and filter continues to work after replacing impeller shaft...

    thats more than can be said for many other brands of filters

    not just canisters, but HOF and OHF, most times, the pump just dies even though everything is seemingly still intact.

    Yes, agreed totally.
    Yes, Classic can.

    Re: Eheim Canister Filter Comparison

    I just bought a Classic 2213, so far have owned Pro 2227, 2026, 2028 and Classic 2215 and I must say I am going back to the Classic model some how I feel that the Classic mnodels are very robust even thou it does not have all the nice features e.g. auto priming, for the newer model. My next unit will most probably be a Classic 2217.

    Yes, agreed with it, Eheim pump motor really rocks. I have a Pro 2227 that was bought 11 years ago and it is still running although water output is not as strong as before because the impeller was not change at all, I am sure that if I will to replace it with a new impeller it will still able to keep pumping for the next 3-4 years.

    Classic will continue to be popular. Eheim should update it with a more efficient motor to consume less electricity like the new Ecco pros.

    Re: Eheim Canister Filter Comparison

    i am using eheim 2228. However i've noticed the information given in the Eheim asia webpage (1050L/h 20w) is different from the label (750L/h 25w) on my filter. Does anyone notice it?

    Re: Eheim Canister Filter Comparison

    I think 2028 is 20W and 2228 is 25W.

    Hmm.. I am currently using 2 Eheim Professional 2028 for my current 4ft tank. I am generally please with its performance. But if you intend to have a cabinet tank, Do not try to place your canister right a the back cause you will have difficulty in primming the filter sometimes I tried to go all the way inside the prime it and sometimes its really tough to prime that i got to use my legs and press it down. But sadly, unable to change the deisng
    Eheim filters are generally more well-known in the aquatic industry thus the money wise its on the higher side. Alternative choices like Hydor and Fluval are also good competitiors of Eheim. So do your homework and choose the most wise filter for your tank.

    Cheers,

    Re: Eheim Canister Filter Comparison

    i have been using the 2026 (might have been a 2028 - will recheck tonight!)for my 4ft tank with chiller and it never gave me any problem...since 1998! i do wash out the filter elements with tank water (to save bacteria) abt every 2-3 yrs when i got bored with tank structure and change it.. the 2026 is very convenient to unplug from water flow.

    Been using 2 x 2080s for more than 2 yrs. Previously opened to check frequently for any development of sludge......now I have not opened it for more than a year. Flow is perfectly fine so dont want to disturb the bacteria colony.

    Re: Eheim Canister Filter Comparison

    Just bought eheim 2026 pro2 and paid $380 from KK tampines. Reach home and check email. Petmart offer me promotional price with $280.

    Next time will try to buy dry goods from internet. Deliver home as well.

    You guys think 2026 alone can handle 3ft planted tank? I think turn over rate too low?

    Re: Eheim Canister Filter Comparison

    I have 2042, 2010 (My 1st eheim), 2006, 2252, 2228, 2017, 1262 (just got!)

    I think I most impressed with:

    1. 2042 (hang on) as part of the casing has chipped off at the water flow out area, however the motor is still running strong. Has been working for my 3 ft for 4 good yrs!
    2. 2252, best internal filter I ever had, easy to wash and maintance, strong motor.
    3. 2228 for 8 good years, it has working for my 5ft. I only change the O ring once at the 5th yrs and it never give me any pro.
