    Hi i'm planning to buy a new filter which is the above mentioned. Now, the 2028 is more expensive but after reading a lot from certain forums, i have found out that the 2026 and 2028 are the same but the 2028 has a larger canister. Eheim claims that the 2028 has a higher output but others say different. Has anyone ever checked or tried these two?

    As far as I can tell, the flow rate is about 100lt/h more for 2028. Wattage is the same.
    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.

    Yeah that's what eheim is claiming but wattage is the same and so is everything else including impeler motor this and that except for a bigger canister

    My guess is the size of the impellor blade. You can have the same motor driving the canister but to increase the flow, the size of the impellor maybe the factor. Just a guess only as I have only use 2026.

    Then if the pump and everything is the same why should the output be higher than the 2026

    It should be same. As 2026 & 2028 parts & accessories are interchangable.
