    I have a decommed Eheim 2217 idling at home for the past 2mths. Am a little concerned that if left idling too long the filter might kaput. Is it ok to do a quick dry run ( without filling the cannister with water)?.

    Switching on the motor when dry to test for a few seconds is okay... just don't let it run dry for longer than a few minutes to avoid the motor overheating.
