Top-tier filter technology with numerous benefits
The EHEIM professional 3 represents the highest standard in our series of professional external filters. Its square base not only provides stability but also accommodates a large filter volume while fitting neatly into corners to save space.
Suction aid
Say goodbye to complex suction techniques! The suction aid allows the filter canister to be filled and ready for operation in no time.
Safety Hose Adapter
This hose adapter features three hoses, and for safety, it can only be released when the valves are closed.
Prefilter
With a generously sized prefilter located at the top of the canister, coarse debris is trapped and can be easily cleaned between maintenance sessions. This protects the biological filter media in the remaining three filter baskets, significantly extending their lifespan.
Filter baskets
The filter baskets can be filled individually and are easily removable for cleaning purposes.
Quiet operation
Thanks to EHEIM High Performance Ceramics, which include components like impellor axles and bearings made from high-performance ceramics, this filter operates exceptionally quietly, has a high load capacity, and boasts an extremely long service life.
Ready for connection
All necessary accessories are included: suction pipe, nozzle pipe, outlet bend, EHEIM quality hose, prefilter tray, and installation accessories.
The complete filter media set 2520800 can be purchased separately.
