Eheim Filter 2262-38 w/ Valves

The Eheim 2262 Canister Filter's powerful pump coupled with the large volume canister and correct filter media arrangement, guarantees the highest effectiveness and above average service life. This large capacity external filter is for aquariums up to approximately 400 gallons with a maximum pump performance of 396 gph. It is extremely silent, maintenance free and water-resistant. It provides high pump output and effective use of filter media for fresh or saltwater aquariums.

The "Full Space" design of Eheim's canister allows it to hold more filter media than other filters while making it more versatile. The filter comes complete with a safety hose-connection system to stop separation and 7 foot of tubing, suction cups, intake tube with strainer, return spray bar, and line elbows. The silent working pump is maintenance-free and wear-resistant. The filter's cover features heavy duty clamps that are practical locking devices. The carrying handles allow for easy maintenance. The filter is a standard design form Eheim. The water enters at the bottom and exits the canister out the top. The Eheim 2262 is UL and CSA listed.

EHFIMECH (5L) should be used at the bottom suction area. It provides mechanical filtration. The next layer of EHFISUBSTRAT or EHFILAV (15L) will act as the main biological filter medium. The substrate's high porousity is ideal for bacteria colonization and ensures unbeatable long term decomposition of Ammonia and Nitrites. EHFIFIX (5L) should be placed on top with a thickness of approximately 1 inch as the final filter medium layer. It is a coarse media for fine mechanical and biological filtration. Ehfisynth (2L) can also be used for fresh or saltwater and should be replaced each time the filter is cleaned. It is a synthetic filter wadding for capturing fine dirt particles. Chemi-pure (1 for every 50 gallons) can be used for chemical filtration for freshwater aquariums. Depending upon the desired water quality, the layers of filter media can be increased. Specific water treatment can also be achieved with an individual filter media arrangement.

Warranty: The filter has a 2 year guarantee.
