Eheim Pro 3 2080 issues

[Frank]

HI all,

Questions for the more technical people on here.

1)

Have an eheim Pro 3, 2080, I find them not very powerfull when connected to a Deco chiller, the problem I find is the white rubber thing seen in the below photo keeps getting loose so the sucking/output gets reduced:

Is it me having a blonde moment or is there any way of rectifying this annoying issue easily.

2) Does anyone have any experience in connecting an Fluval FX5 to a chiller, have been told the FX5 is too powerfull for a Deco chiller.

Would appreciate any input you may have.

Cheers

Frank

Hi Frank,

I've just cleaned mine today. I don't recall seeing that white rubber.

Not sure if it's because I have the earlier 2080. Eheim changed that part from the grey plastic like this

To white rubber like yours

Notice the parts numbers aren't the same. According to people who had similar issue with you, the grey one is much better than the white.

Have you tried replacing the 2 o-rings on that? If that doesn't fix, may worth replacing it.

Hi Phenomena,

Thanks, will give it a go.

Thanks your input

Cheers
