Top class filter technology with several advantages

The EHEIM professional 3 is the highest level of our professional external filter generations. With a square base for stability, the filter has a large filter volume but fits into corners and needs less space.

Suction aid
No more complicated suction methods! With the suction aid, the filter canis-ter is filled and immediately ready to start.

Safety Hose Adapter
Hose adapter with 3 hoses. For safety reasons, the hose adapter can only be released when the valves are closed.

Prefilter
A large prefilter, positioned in the top of the canister, retains coarse dirt and can be cleaned quickly between maintenance intervals. This protects the biological filter material in the other 3 filter baskets, providing a much longer service life.

Filter baskets
The filter baskets can be filled individually and are easily removed for cleaning.

Quiet operation
EHEIM High Performance Ceramics, i.e. components made of high-performance ceramics (impellor axles and bearings), mean exceptionally quiet operation, high load capacity and extremely long service life.

Ready for connection
All essential accessories are included: suction pipe, nozzle pipe, outlet bend, EHEIM quality hose, pre-filter tray and installation accessories.

The complete filter media set 2520800 is available separately.
