| Posted | Which model is this Eheim filter |
| 24-07-2007 19:25 by Musketter |
I am looking for another external filter and came across this one. It has no model number on it that I can find, and I cant work out what the 3rd hose is for. I haven't actually seen it yet apart from the picture and need to know if it is worth going to see. It will be in large tropical tank.
So I thought I would cheat and ask the experts. Cheers Keith |

From web site
As an external filter, the Eheim Professionel Wet/Dry Filter is the first filter to offer the perfect technology of a "breathing" alternating contact with the filter medium. The bacteria colonies are rhythmically flushed and aerated. This creates ideal conditions for considerably accelerated decomposition of almost all solved pollutants. The Eheim Professionel wet/dry filters offer efficiency surpassing that of a tricle filter. The water movement within the filter is bi-directional allowing for extended contact time between bacteria cononies, oxygen and toxinx, which are thus decomposed much more rapidly than in a traditional filter. Faster decomposition of pollutants than with conventional pot filters: ammonium by 73%, nitrite by 67% faster. Exchange of oxygen and CO2 is accomplished by means of displacement through the specially designed breathing tube. The water output pulsates as the filter fills and empites, acheiving a wavelike action. Integrated interval control for reliable operation. Oxygen-rich water in constant quality. Only filtered water is released into circulation. |

didnt clock the 3rd pipe yeah linda is right  |
| 24-07-2007 23:32 by robert.pope |
i read some where that they are not ideal for planted aquariums as the filter strips the co2 from the water due to the oxygen process within the filter
anyone's views on this??  |
