EHEIM eXperience 250 external filter

With the EHEIM eXperience, you gain all the essential advantages of our latest external filter generation. Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the professional range, EHEIM introduced the first external filters featuring a square design. Benefits include saving space (as it fits neatly into corners), enhanced stability, and a larger filter capacity. Moreover, this robust basic filter provides unique features: for example, a complete hose adapter unit with built-in shut-off taps, filter baskets that can be removed individually with fold-away handles, minimal energy consumption, and exceptionally quiet operation thanks to ceramic components, among others. The eXperience comes fully equipped – including all necessary accessories and filter media – so you can start using it right away.

Accessories provided consist of a spray bar, inlet pipe, outlet elbow, high-quality EHEIM hose, and installation accessories. This model serves as a fundamental option for innovative upgrades, extending to high-tech models with electronic controls: professionel 3 and 3e. The square, practical design is both reliable and efficient, providing a quiet operation. The eXperience is the foundational model of our advanced filter generation, featuring a square structure that allows for corner placement, thus saving space.

The adapter can be swiftly removed and securely replaced using the lever (locking clamp). The shut-off taps can be adjusted independently to control the water flow rate. The filter canister comes with functional filter baskets, which include fold-away handles for easy removal, allowing for straightforward handling and hassle-free full or partial cleaning.

Operating at just 8 Watts while providing a pump output of 700 l/h, the eXperience is both efficient and energy-saving. These features positioned the professionel as the pioneer of the cutting-edge range of high-tech external filters (professionel 3 and 3e).
