yes. you can use the valve at the outlet to throttle down the flowrate. however, do not throttle the inlet valve. the inlet must be fully opened.
Hi Friends !
I hope all is well and great !
I just finished cleaning my Eheim 2217 (the filter media, impeller etc) and I'm surprised how much the outflow is increased !!!
I'm using the Eheim Wide jet pipe to return the water from the filter, to the tank, which creates a single jet of water at the water surface. Now due to this increased outflow (caused by the filter cleaning), my Tank's water is getting really distrubed.
Just wanted to know if I can use the Quick Disconnect Valves at the Output End, to reduce the flow of the Filter ? Will any back pressure be caused because of this and will it harm my filters motor in the long run ?
Will this reduce the filters efficiency in any way ?
Also if you can kindly have a look at this link http://www.eheim.de/eheim/inhalte/index.jsp?key=liniendetail_27655_ehen
there is also a Shut-Off Valve available from the eheim people, which (as mentioned i the website) says - "The water cycle in the hose system can be conveniently interrupted and regulated with the EHEIM shut-off valve"
Kindly guide me if its safe to control the outflow using this valve...
Thanks and Regards

So it wont harm the filter in the longrun, in anyway ?Originally Posted by tawauboy
nope.
pumps can be throttle down to reduce flowrate.
