Urgent: help needed with Eheim Pro 2026

[Nicky]

I use Eheim installation set 1 to fill the inlet pipe full of water.

ok.. here comes the 'swa-gu' question.. how does this set 1 work?
I tried to look up google but though I viewed the pic I still cannot understand how this can help to kick start a dry external filter.

Hi Nicky,
The installation set 1 comes with a right angle hook on top which doubles up as a intake as it is hollow. At the corner of the hook, there is a cap which can be open to fill up with water. As you start the filter and turn on the valve gravity will begin the suction effect. No need to prime, instant water pressure.
