Hello all,

I have a Eheim Professional II 2026 model filter on my tank.
Bought it all second hand and have no instructions on the filter and how it works.

Would someone be so kind as to point me to where I can get some or even scan and email them to me: neilwlindsay@gmail.com

Also,
Since setting up my Eheim it has developed a rattle coming from the top of the canister. I think it's air, as when I press the priming plunger during operation air is expelled from the spraybar, it goes quiet for around 10second and then begins to rattle again.

Possible once I get some instruction and find out how to worki it I may be able to cure this problem.

Is the grey lever in between the inlet/outlet hose a valve to control flow ?

One other question;
Can an external eheim heater be used with the 2026 and if so which model is recommended ?

Any help very much appreciated,

Regards

The Fsh with no eye's !
 
Is the rattle related to the ball in the 'flow guage'? They rattle away, you can try removing it (remove red retaining piece, remove ball)

The grey lever is indeed a flow regulator, also handy for keeping water from draining while cleaning the canister.

Treat your seals with extreme kindness. Very expensive to replace.

Agreed. That little ball drove me nuts. I pulled it out and have been happy ever since.
 
When I clean the filter i also clean the ball and the connectors. I use Hydor inline heaters on both my 2026s- They work great.
