#Eheim 2260 motor series#
Anyhow, here is how I start up my Eheim canister series filters after maintenance: While we are at it, you also want to put a double-tap-quick-release in the intake pipe of your filter, so you can remove the filter easily from the tank for maintenance. If you are using a a Hydor external thermal heater, like I am doing, the quick-release goes between the filter and the heater. Expelling the air is very easy to do if you are using Eheim's double-tap-quick-release in the return pipe from your filter to the pump. The pump cannot expel this air by itself, so you have to get it out, or the pump is stuck.
The problem with these filters not starting up after a service is invariably air in the pump-head. Some people claim Eheim classic series filters are hard to prime, but I have never found that myself. Today I am running a 2217 on a 75G and this 2260.
I bought my first 2213 in 1977 when I was 10 years old. I have had Eheim classic series filter run on tanks for 20 years and more without a hitch. In my humble opinion there simply is no better filter money can buy! They are super quiet, very efficient, and they last forever. That means they lack any modern gizmos such as self priming and so on. The Eheim classic series of filters has been around virtually unchanged since the 1970s. Now I finally got one, and the thing is all I ever dreamed about! I've been drooling over the 2260 ever since I was a kid.
The tank is filtered by an Eheim 2260 canister filter with Eheim diffusor.
