Eheim Canister Filter Comparison

[herns]

anyone has any comments on ecco pro models? was thinking of getting the 2032 model but i would like to hear from the rest of you guys out there . Anyone also knows whats the price region for that model?

I had 2232 for about 2 mos now and last week I had a maintenance. It took me about 5 mins to do the job. Its an awesome canister.

I have the classic and proII and just bought a pro (2222). Personally I prefer the Pro.

hi guys, as for me i still prefer the classic series then the pro series..
i have both series...for the classic, only 1 o-ring i have to worry about..
just last year my pro 2 2026 leak after 3 years..i have to change the o-ring and the inlet and outlet valves...that cost me around $55 excluding the labour charges which they waived

I'm currently using an Eheim 2213 with Do!Aqua lily pipe outflow on my 5g tank. Must say I really love the great job. No more murky water.

Using eheim 2217 at the moment, have not found any problems with it but would 2028 be value for money as compared to 2217?

I won't be surprised if it is assembled in China but the brand is orginated from Germany. It still beat those brands purely from China in term of quality. Of coz there are still some that can be used but same brand sometimes depend on your luck, one may got a lower quality one while the other will not have problem. It depends on how much one can spend on such equipment.

Hi, I'm new here. After reading the posts in this thread, I wanna get the Eheim Pro II 2028 or Eheim Classic 2217 as I'm getting a new and bigger home for my 4 terrapins. The new tub that I am getting for them contains at least 250 litres of water.

May I ask if Eheim 2028 come with a spray bar?

I suspect so. The "Made In Germany" wordings are no where to be found.

For classic series, main parts are from Germany and assembly is done at China.

Not sure about other series though.

event if it is made china, as long as the quality control properly in place, it should be ok. I belive almost all equipment, television, laptop, printer, monitor, you name it, are made in China.

If your lucky to get old stocks, they are made in Germany. I have Ecco 2232 I bought a year ago and it was made in Germany.

Products that are designed in America and in some parts of Europe like Germany, Sweden etc are okay. But products that are designed and made in China are very, very poor quality .

Hi..any particular reason you prefer PRO series?

[madnugget]

currently owned 2026x2 and 2226, but i think i would prefer the classic series.. the pro series no doubt is smaller and have more inbuilt functions (quick disconnect etc) but looking at the filters i have i always have to worry about the o-ring.. certain parts not aligned properly etc.. =)

Since the poll started till now, i'm actually suprised that there are slightly more people who prefer the classic to the Pro or Pro 2 series. Looks like people prefer models that are simple and less likely to give problems.

Frankly i prefer the Pro series to the Classic and Pro 2 cos the Pro series can hold more media compared to the Classic and the Pro series has less parts as compared to the Pro 2 which means lesser parts will spoil and leading to lesser expensive parts to change. It's a pity they discontinued the Pro series. Btw i wonder why doesn't eheim make their box shaped cannister filters to allow the inlet/outlet valve to swivel? There are so many brands out there that has this feature which i find very good.

[madnugget]

while fixing my cannister today i realise the info on the eheimasia website was different. old model higher power? i see 2226 and 2026 both were 20W, but i do see a temperature increase when i was using 2226 and i check the cannister it labeled 25W..

Using pro till now seems everything fine.

Hi guys trying to boost my 3.5x2x2ft tank's filtering capacity. Remains undecided between pro 2 2028 and classic 2217. Would like to know some information which could help decide.
1) 2217's power consumption, is it as efficient as 2028?
2) Where's a good place to get them, NA or seaview?
3) Which of them could stock up more medium?

[Matt.Lee]

Can ask if 2073 can use with 3x1.5x1.5 tank? Will it be undersize?

[wongkk]

Using classic..... 2260
